The Perfect Balance

I am Justice, numbered eleven in the Major Arcana—the divine principle of balance, fairness, and cosmic law that ensures all actions receive their appropriate consequences. I am the scales that weigh truth from falsehood, the sword that cuts through deception to reveal reality, the unwavering commitment to what is right regardless of personal costI represent not human legal systems but cosmic justice—the fundamental law of balance that operates throughout the universe, ensuring that all energy eventually finds its proper equilibrium..

I am the part of you that knows right from wrong without consulting external authorities, the inner compass that points toward truth, the unwavering commitment to fairness even when it requires personal sacrifice.

The Golden Scales

In my left hand I hold scales of perfect balance—instruments so sensitive they detect the weight of intentions, the measure that weighs hearts rather than just actions, the cosmic balance that accounts for all factors.

Sacred scales represent:

The Balance Restorer

  • Corrective Action: Implementing measures that restore proper balance
  • Harm Repair: Healing damage caused by injustice or unfairness
  • Prevention Wisdom: Understanding how to maintain balance to prevent future problems

Decision support involves:

  • Option Clarification: Understanding all available choices and their implications
  • Value Prioritization: Determining what principles should guide decision-making
  • Consequence Acceptance: Taking responsibility for results of chosen actions
  • Timing Recognition: Understanding when decisions must be made versus when delay serves
  • Wisdom Integration: Using both logical analysis and intuitive knowing

My Promise

I cannot promise that choosing justice will always be popular or personally advantageous, or that truth-telling will always be welcomed or rewarded. Standing for what is right often requires courage and sacrifice.

But I can promise that aligning with cosmic justice, seeking truth above comfort, and maintaining integrity regardless of external pressures will connect you to the fundamental principles that govern existence—the same laws that maintain planetary orbits and ensure that seeds grow into flowers.

Truth is stronger than lies. Justice is more powerful than corruption. Balance always seeks to restore itself.

I am Justice, present in every moment you choose fairness over favoritism, truth over convenience, integrity over advantage, what is right over what is easy.

What situation in your life is calling for the sword of truth and the scales of perfect balance?

"Justice is truth in action." "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." "In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same."
