Major Arcana - Justice

Next in line on the Fools quest stands Justice, she sits on a throne with the Egyptian symbol of eternal life around her neck, the Ankh. She's holding a sword for power, and scales to symbolise her unprejudiced fairness, uncompromising honesty, prudence and experience. Here the Fool learns about the need for balance and fairness in life, all expressed through Truth. He has to learn the infinite celestial balance that exists in the Universe.

Speaking only Truth and learning to balance life through his now greater Wisdom, the Fool can achieve Harmony. It's not about interpreting the law blindly, it's about living a harmonious life with all things taken into account. The Fool is learning that the life you're living is the life you deserve, hence, if you live a virtuous life you'll be duly rewarded. You are a mirror of your partner, always strive for the outmost Self Love, as you can only Love others like you Love yourself.



In the Kabbalah the number eight is a material number that expresses a connection with the earth. It symbolises firmness, solidity and stability. It stands for legal matters and also eternity. The never ending search for Spiritual Truth.

Justice will help you out when you need to see the Real Truth of a situation. She'll make sure your internal strengths and weaknesses balance, be Truthful to yourself and others and you'll achieve balance and harmony in your life. Listen to that inner voice, it knows right from wrong.

Major Arcana - The Chariot

Having gone through the first six trials of life the Fool finally realises some semblance of versatility and stability in his personality. The black horse symbolises control over the material plane and the white dedication. Here the Fool learns to balance his personality between good and evil, he learns how to wield his newfound power with responsibility and humbleness. 

Achieving harmony is essential to happiness and expression of Love, the Fool must learn to balance the opposing forces of the physical and the spiritual. Utilising his personal powers to allow his soul to transcend. Uniting spirit and body, heaven and earth. Achieving such harmony allows you to progress through life without fear, helping you judge situations sensible, preventing you from becoming passive. 


In the Kabbalah the number seven symbolises truth and sacrifice. In the Bible the enemies flee on seven roads and the dragon of the apocalypse has seven heads. Seven is achieved by adding four and three, joining Earth and Heaven in the ideal order of the Universe, balance. Change, progress and success is indicated by the number seven.

The Chariot helps you achieve and establish control of your life. The charioteer symbolises your ability to harmonise all the opposing forces we have to balance in our lives. With today's busy lifestyle it's extra important to keep adjusting and rebalancing your passions and demands in life so you can maintain harmony and drive.
