Hello Travelers and I hope everyone is well.
I have been extraordinarily busy with personal obligations and have not had much time to devote to either writing or reading cards. I now find myself with about an hour of time so thought I’d get out the newsletter to you with March 2022’s card of the month.
As we move into both astrological and meteorological spring, we recognize that things all around us will be changing - from trees, grasses and flowers to our activities. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth. As the weather begins to warm we will begin to move around and mingle - reconnect with both nature and other humans.
Here in the USA, mask mandates are being lifted everywhere - even though in some places, people never wore them to begin with. I am of the opinion that lifting the mask mandates will be a huge mistake - the announcement comes under a Mercury retrograde and as Mars will enter Aquarius on 7 March, the “need” to congregate with others will be high. Little has been mentioned in the news stories here about the “stealth Omicron” and while it may not be a “variant of concern”, it is harder to detect. So while we are moving around and mingling, the virus continues to mutate and spread.
What does this have to do with the card of the month? Justice has come forth to offer some “food for thought” - no matter your personal feelings or opinions on the subject of mask mandates and variants.
Justice rules the sign of Libra - an airy, cardinal (initiating) sign; Libra is ruled by Venus and Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra. Paul Foster Case has associated Justice with both the Empress card and The World card due to the planetary influences and surmises that “our subconscious deductions from experience are the seeds of Karma, and are actually the basis of all our activities.” I’ll come back to this statement later.
Justice being an 11 is a Master number in numerology. Master numbers present an opportunity for learning and integrating spiritual information.
At its core, Justice is about truth, balance, morality, divine justice and cosmic order. Following The Wheel of Fortune in the sequence we come to understand that changing conditions (The Wheel) will require a new balance, a new truth and that we are operating under the system of divine justice and cosmic order.
In your personal, third-dimensional life Justice implies that a fair decision has been made - even if you feel as though you got the short end of the stick. It asks that you rely upon your own intuition and move forward with your plans. Do not allow anyone to dissuade you or influence you from you path or against your BETTER judgment.
In your fifth-dimensional (spiritual) life Justice says that in order to achieve total balance we must learn to understand the power we have in our own existence. And once we learn to blend our higher-selves with our daily thinking patterns, we will learn how to avoid the obstacles and pitfalls experienced in our third-dimensional, materialistic existence.
In its most positive Justice suggest the Law of Purpose, self-direction (not just where you want to go, but how choose to do it) and education which is complemented by action and work.
Yet, reversed Justice speaks to unfairness (whether real or perceived), intolerance, injustices, legal complications, bigotry, bias and excessive severity.
Going back to Paul Foster Case’s comment - The Justice card really is about education having equilibrium as its aim. It requires the elimination of useless outworn forms - merely hearing a word or reading a word does not educate - it requires action that is motivated by the subconscious response to self-awareness, observation and concentration.
I am being shown that the Universal energies will be changing by mid-Spring. I am also being shown that climatological changes - more storms, more drought, more floods will be affecting us as we move into the summer months. Couple this with already rising prices and shortages and things will be a bit more serious - despite us having more money in our bank accounts.
Astrologer Jessica Adams has been writing about Uranus in Taurus since 2018. And with Ceres (Goddess of Agriculture in Roman mythology) in the mix in January 2022, you should expect more of the same.
To blend the virus, agriculture, planetary associations and yourselves all together, I pulled another card from the Siblys Oraculum and it too was the card of Justice.
Commentary on this:
We have all - at some time in our lives - felt betrayed by circumstances such that when we are disillusioned or disappointed, we complain about how unfair life is and fall into either an angry state or a self-pitying one.
What may rarely occur to us is that the circumstances/conditions that we attract are in direct alignment with our very own thought processes that preceded and facilitated the manifestation of events.
As above, so below - we and the Universe are the co-creators of our experiences.
As humans, we instinctively and sometimes an unconscious spiritual level never doubt nor question the necessity for the existence of the natural laws remaining in order - (the Sun will rise and set tomorrow) - yet often times forget that we as a microcosm are also subjected to the very same universal rules for the same purpose.
On the third dimensional level, this looks like blame, fate, bad luck, lost lucky charms, etc. We can make any excuse or reason why things have happened as they have except taking the time to observe how we ourselves may have lost balance. This is the nature of Karma.
As we move into the month of March and further into early summer, Justice has come forth as a warning to avoid perpetuating yourself as victims. Instead of pity or revenge, analyze your own choices and decisions and how they may have contributed to the outcome of the situation. Rely on your own intuition and judgment and do not be swayed or dissuaded by others as to what is right for you. For me personally, just because the “government” is saying its okay to take my mask off in large, open places - doesn’t mean I have to listen and do it.
That Saturnian influence of learning lessons, being educated through experience and hard work comes into play here. Remember what came before and choose to either repeat it or not.
If on the other hand that you find yourself in a position of having chosen the wrong, short end of the stick - look deeply within yourself. You will find that you ignored those hunches, reservations or red flags.
You have a brain. You have innate intuition - we all do. Use it. And stick by what you feel is right for you.
Thank you. I’m trying to do exactly that.
