III. Message of Justice Linestrider
At the microscopic level of personal psychology, the Wheel of Fortune represents the vision of human life, events, who you are, what you turn yourself into. Justice shows that insight into that vision. Empathy is in responsibility. As long as we believe that our past life has just taken place, that we do not push the ego into existence in every thing we do, the past will forever be a mystery, and the future is a meaningless, endless revolving wheel. But when we accept that every event in our life has created our personality and that in the future we will continue to construct ego through our actions, the sword of wisdom will dissolve the mystery.
Further, through accepting responsibility for ourselves, we free ourselves from the past. As the Buddha recalls all of our lives, we can only get rid of the bondage of the past when we are aware of it. Otherwise, we will just repeat the old manners. This is why Justice stands in the middle of our lives. The ego may be just a trait, a mask, but that mask can control us as long as we do not admit that we have impersonated it in the ego.
The view of self-responsibility about one’s life does not imply any kind of intangible control over the world. It doesn’t mean, for example, that if an earthquake destroys your home, you would somehow want it to happen, for any hidden personal reason. Understanding includes accepting the limitations of physical existence. The universe is vast and strange, and there is no individual who controls what happens in it.
Responsibility also does not imply morality. It simply means that whether you like it or not, whatever you do and experience contributes to your personality development. Life forces you to react to all events. Not a moral claim but a reality of existence.
In this era, the emphasis on individualism led to thinking only about individual death and rebirth. Great rituals, on the contrary, aim not only to transform a particular person but also to connect him/her to the greater secrets of the universe. In this direction, we can see another reason why Justice belongs to the central position of Predestination.
We have spoken of the world under reciprocal opposites, a wheel that spins infinitely between light and darkness, life and death. We also said that the center of the wheel is the stationary point, around which opposites rotate endlessly. Justice’s balance was once again reminiscent of that stationary point. When all the opposites, including past and future, come to an equilibrium, we can be free from within.
Many people wonder what Tarot, I Ching, or astrology tells us about free will. If the cards can predict what we will do, does that mean that free will doesn’t exist? This question arises from a misunderstanding of the nature of “free will”; we think of a free will as something simple and independent from the past. We think we are free to do whatever we want at any time. But our choices that are supposed to be free are guided by past actions. If we do not understand ourselves, how can we expect a free decision? Only when we see and accept the past will we not be bound by it.
In Tarot spreading, the reader must always pay close attention to Justice Linestrider. If it does appear, then the first meaning it shows is that events have happened in the true sense that they should be; and that, what is happening to you comes from past situations and decisions. You get what you deserve. Secondly, it shows a need and a possibility of being able to see the truth in the outcome. It means absolute honesty. At the same time, it demonstrates the possibility that your actions in the future could be altered by a lesson from the present situation.
We cannot be true to ourselves if we cannot be true to others. In this sense, Justice Linestrider has the obvious literal meaning of Justice: honesty, fairness, the right actions, of course in law and in other matters, a decision – even though the decision-maker does not necessarily enjoy that decision.
Reversed Justice points out being dishonest with yourself and others. It implies an unwillingness to perceive the meaning of events, and especially a reminder that you are missing out on some opportunities to gain great empathy about yourself and life. On the external level, it refers to actions or decisions that are unfair and unjustified. the reversed meanings also refer to unfair decisions under the law or being treated badly by someone.
On the other hand, we must not accept unfair proposals as an excuse to deny personal responsibility for what happens to us. Reversed Justice Linestrider sometimes reflects the attitude, “That’s not fair. See how people treat me.” And there are more. Whether upright or reversed, Justice’s clear eyes send a powerful message – in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words, “Nobody can bring you peace but yourself”.
