Justice – Balancing opposites

On this very hot first day of July, I will start working with my Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans. It was gifted to me in May for my Birthday but besides flipping through the deck and admiring the artwork,  I haven’t really worked with it yet.

My card for today is Justice. We see two cats, one white and one black sitting next to each other with their backs towards us. Their tails are crossing and they are both looking straight at us. Everything in this card is expressing the idea of balance. This version of Justice it like a dismantled Yin -Yang symbol Even the color of their eyes is opposite to the color of their fur

In this card there is no other color used but black and white. Justice sees no color, just the bare facts and no emotions or other  distractions. Justice is all about universal balance between opposites, about truth and fairness and responsibility for your own actions. The sword represents fair decisions and cutting to the chase. Decide what is best for yourself and everybody else involved. And after that decision, it is up to you to take responsibility for the consequences of your choices.

For me, being often insecure about my own decisions, this is a difficult card to start out with but I think a very representative one for the energy of the deck. Not only because the cards are mainly drawn in black and white, with here and there a meaningful splash of color but also because of the straightforwardness of the images. They convey their message without a multitude of symbols. Of course the images are layered but they speak truthfully and clearly and they are teaching us to trust our intuition as a part of sincere decision making.
And remember not making a choice is a choice too
