Testo originale di Waite (1911)

Simbolismo interiore (originale)

As this card follows the traditional symbolism and carries above all its obvious meanings, there is little to say regarding it outside the few considerations collected in the first part, to which the reader is referred.

It will be seen, however, that the figure is seated between pillars, like the High Priestess, and on this account it seems desirable to indicate that the moral principle which deals unto every man according to his works—while, of course, it is in strict analogy with higher things—differs in its essence from the spiritual justice which is involved in the idea of election. The latter belongs to a mysterious order of Providence, in virtue of which it is possible for certain men to conceive the idea of dedication to the highest things. The operation of this is like the breathing of the Spirit where it wills, and we have no canon of criticism or ground of explanation concerning it. It is analogous to the possession of the fairy gifts and the high gifts and the gracious gifts of the poet: we have them or have not, and their presence is as much a mystery as their absence. The law of Justice is not, however, involved by either alternative. In conclusion, the pillars of Justice open into one world and the pillars of the High Priestess into another.

Significato originale al dritto

Equity, rightness, probity, executive; triumph of the deserving side in law.

Significato originale invertito

Law in all its departments, legal complications, bigotry, bias, excessive severity.

Origini del mito e dei simboli

The classical goddess of justice carries a sword and scales, but she is not blindfolded — the blindfold was added centuries later.

Justice among the cardinal virtues, on a classical scheme

Justice (Iustitia) is one of the four classical cardinal virtues, and along with Strength (Fortitude) and Temperance she holds a trump of her own in this deck. The personification with sword and scales is the fixed form since Rome: the scales weigh, the sword enforces. On the Greek side there are two figures — Themis governs divine law and order, Dike the just verdict among human beings; Rome gathered that whole line into Iustitia.

She is not blindfolded, and that matters

The Justice standing outside a courthouse today is usually blindfolded, but that addition only became common after the sixteenth century, and it began with a satirical edge (the implication being that the judge cannot see). The Justice of the tarot has her eyes open and looks straight at the person reading. So the card is not about refusing to look in the name of impartiality; it is about seeing clearly and then weighing — the two schemes differ by one gesture, and the meanings end up far apart.

Esoteric correspondence

A sourced traditional claim, but constructed inside an occult system

She sits between two pillars too, but they open elsewhere

Waite notes that the figure is "seated between pillars, like the High Priestess," and takes care to draw the line: Justice deals with the moral principle of rendering to each according to his works, and is what "differs in its essence" from the spiritual justice of election that belongs to the High Priestess. His conclusion is a single sentence: "the pillars of Justice open into one world and the pillars of the High Priestess into another." The Golden Dawn attribution is Libra (Hebrew letter Lamed).

Modern reading

Popular only since the twentieth century; unrelated to where the card came from

"Karmic settling of accounts" was moved in later

Reading Justice as karma and cosmic retribution is the same merchandise as the "wheel of karma" on the Wheel of Fortune: the fusion that followed the late-nineteenth-century Theosophical import of Indian ideas of karma into Western esotericism. The classical goddess weighs and judges the case in front of her. Settling accounts across lifetimes is not her business.
