Justice typically refers to the immutable laws of the Universe, The invisible principles that keep everything flowing forward smoothly through infinite causal chains. These are laws that cannot be violated; only enforced. And YES the sword of Justice, double-edged as always, is ready to mete out punishment for those who have wronged, and to reward those who have done good deeds.
The two most important laws governed by Justice are really two sides of the same coin. First comes the law of cause and effect, stating that all events are connected and each present state is the result of all past states. This is a such strange idea to get your mind around because sometimes seemlingly meaningless actions will have great ramifications. Justice shows that every action you do will eventually have an effect, someday, and you really have no idea of knowing what that event is until it happens.
Born from the law of cause and order is the law of Karma, showing that all your actions will return to you eventually. Of course, they will be modified slightly and are often strengthened over time - the lesson is still the same.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
This is really a simple elaboration of the law of cause and effect. Under Karmic law, not only will everything you do have an effect, everything you do will have an effect on you. This is where it becomes critical to be mindful of your actions, because everything you take will come back to you eventually. Before Justice, you have to answer for all your actions, right and wrong.
Life, if nothing else, is fair.
Indeed, Justice teaches the fairest yet cruelest lesson of all because, much like a sword her blade has a double edge. You do not get what you expect, you do not get what you want - you get what you deserve. If you deserve good things then you are rewarded, without ceremony or congratulation. If you deserve punishment then it is given with neither compassion nor mockery. You simply get back what you have made for yourself. And since you cannot change your actions once they have been made, if you want good things to happen you must be constantly making choices that will lead to those good things.
You can be a saint or a demon - it is your choice.
When Justice appears, it should be taken as a stern reminder that the deeds of the past form the foundation for the events of the present and the future. If, in the past, you did something that you have been feeling guilty about, now may be the day when you have to answer for your deeds. If you did a deed you felt was worthy of reward, perhaps that reward will arrive. Especially when the Justice card is around, mind your actions and make sure you don't do anything you might regret later. Justice often appears to warn you that she will meet you again soon if you stay on your current path. Whether this is good or not remains yours to decide.
Quite often, the archetypal judge we tend to associate with justice is not the courtroom statuette, but a figurehead of fairness and authority - symbolic of Universal Law. Be right and reasonable in all your judgements - never take sides, never show mercy but, never show excessive severity either. Most importantly, before we judge others we must be prepared to judge ourselves, to ensure that we are not guilty of the same errors as they.
Righting any wrongs in your past must be done, without any expectation - before you can even begin an attempt to right wrongs in your present.
Justice always prevails.
