Justice – Tarot Clarity

On March 7th 2019, asteroid Sekhmet enters Aquarius, my natal placement for the original goddess, the mother of all other gods.

Libra is cardinal air- the firmament. Gemini is mutable air- wind. Aquarius is fixed air- lightning.

The embodiment of how maturity forms from adversity, her unseen fingers of blazing destruction touching down with love and life, Sekhmet in Aquarius is the Lady of the Lightning, gracefully shrieking and flinging her rhythm upon the stone drums of this wounded earth.

Justice is the symbol of balance. Her knee and elbow purposefully influencing the position of the scales, and the asymmetrical design of the card, are blatant reminders that balance is not a concept of unbothered stillness. It is a dynamic process of reckoning and accountability. Equity and equality are not the same thing. Justice is the symbol of perfection without perfectionism.

Sekhmet and Justice both represent maximum wisdom, which is of course maternal wisdom. The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. Sovereignty, self-governing, personal authority… these concepts become deeply poisoned in wounded mother lines, the root cause of poor boundaries and low self esteem. Justice representing Sekhmet in Aquarius is a meditation on sovereignty, taking a stand to claim that which is yours, and firmly rejecting that which is not yours.
