I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

No Excuses

From the Nigel Jackson Tarot, Justice; from the Viking Lenormand, Garden:

          The realm of Justice is a 'no whine - no excuses' zone. She firmly states that all rights are balanced with responsibilities; to have the first, we must uphold the second. When the scales of balance tilt because a line has been crossed, there will be consequences. The most foolish crime in her book is refusing to learn from one's mistakes. The Garden suggests a place to retreat, relax and unwind from the stresses of life. Whether we're birdwatching, watering some potted plants or enjoying the sun and breeze, it gives us time to just be. Downtime allows us to become aware of what our thoughts are thinking about. It gives us the opportunity to see how our words and actions might ripple out and affect people and situations in unintended ways. Such insights can help us develop prudence and discernment, keeping us from standing under the sword of Justice.

      That connection seems to be missing the mark with some people.
