As the title of this card indicates, it is a time for justice, fairness, the triumph of reason and a need for balanced decisions.  Justice urges you to make decisions based on the facts and on what is fair.

If this card appears during a time where you have to make an important decision, it is urging you to be reasonable and weigh all the pros and cons first.  It is warning against taking rash decisions or trusting only your gut instinct. You must think long and hard before making a decision in this
case.

You may have to compromise, it is important to get every point of view and listen carefully to all opinions before judging the situation.

This card also warns against being prejudiced, biased or even bigoted, as the old saying goes;“Don’t judge a book by it’s’ cover “. 

Justice reminds us that we get our fair desserts; if we behave appropriately we will be rewarded but if we behave badly, we will be punished.

In short, Justice tells us to play by the rules and all will be well.

If the card is upside down; there maybe some injustice, inequality, or legal complications.

Change is in the air. The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that life is ever changing; difficult times become easier and happy times may be clouded by unexpected events, just as the sun gives way to the moon and the moon to the sun, life has its’ cycles.

If you are going through some challenging times this card bring encouragement as it announces that things will change and the problems you are facing will either be resolved or at least become more manageable. 

We must accept that life is never static and be careful to not take anything for granted because you never know how long it will last. When times are good we should enjoy and appreciate
every moment and when times are bad we can console ourselves with the knowledge that it will pass in time. 

But this card also reminds us to live in the moment and not get caught up in worrying that our happiness will end or wishing that the terrible times will come to an end soon and forget to look at what we can learn from the situation.

Traditionally, the Wheel of Fortune indicates that destiny or fate is working its’ magic and that an event beyond your control will change your present circumstances.

This card can also indicate that you have reached the end of a cycle or stage in your life.

Unlike most cards the Wheel of Fortune brings the same message whether it is right side up or upside down. Some books will offer a divinatory meaning as follow; right side up – the card
announces success, better times ahead, and upside down – failure, dark times ahead. 

I leave it up to you to decide which interpretation you wish to follow.

Contemplation, solitude, knowledge, caution and prudence; those are the qualities the Hermit advises. This card speaks of the need to think things through, it warns not to rush into anything; some elements have not yet been revealed which may have an impact on your final decision. You need to look at the whole picture before taking action.

 The Hermit is also strongly connected to all aspects of spirituality. Search inside yourself for a clearer picture. This card suggests you find something that will help shed some light on your situation and guide you in the right direction; whether it is religion, spiritual belief, philosophy or a pursuit of knowledge.

The Hermit often appears when you are going through a difficult time in your life and you may be feeling very much alone in your situation. This card is urging you to seek guidance.

The Hermit could also represent the quest for knowledge or learning and encourages you to take on an educational project.

On the other hand this card could be stressing the importance for self denial, denying your own needs for the greater good of others. But the Hermit warns you not to see yourself as a
martyr, set your ego aside.

If the card appears upside down; it may be suggesting a refusal to listen to wisdom,  immaturity.

This card suggests the need for strength, perseverance and courage. This card encourages you to keep fighting even when the going gets tough. It urges you to dig deep within yourself to find the strength to carry on.

The message this card brings is; although the task ahead seems impossible, it will be easier than you think despite how scary or dangerous it may seem. You will need a lot of courage to push forward but you will eventually come out
victorious.

This card may also be telling you to remain focused as you approach the problem and not let the magnitude of the situation get the better of you. Take it one step at a time rather than overwhelm yourself with the end result. 

Believe in yourself and your abilities.

If the card is reversed, it may be warning against your fears of the unknown or that you may be abusing your power.

Excuse my lateness, but better late than never. Here is this week's Tarot card.
Enjoy!

When the Chariot appears in a spread, it is informing you of triumph from a difficult time or challenge, but not without some hard work from your part.

In order to succeed you will need great willpower & self-control. You will also have to keep your emotions in check. This is not a good time to lose control or do things you may  regret later.

Pay attention to what is in front of you, do not allow yourself to be distracted or sidetracked. FOCUS on the important things!

If there is a decision to be made, weigh all your options before you make up your mind. Do not rush into anything. If possible, let a few days go by before taking action, there is a possibility you may have overlooked some important details or that you might change your mind once you have had a chance to relax. 

The Chariot also warns against taking revenge, consequences will worsen the situation and the sense of satisfaction will be short lived.

If you are involved in a difficult relationship marred with arguments and painful emotions, or if a normally composed partnership is going through a rough patch, the Chariot is encouraging you to stick with it. But act fairly when defending yourself and don’t try to bully your way through the difficult times.

In short, the Chariot announces victory over ill health, money difficulties, or enemies of any sort. This is a card of those who achieve greatness; mental and physical powers should lead to fulfillment.

If the card is reversed (upside down); it may be indicating ill health, restlessness and a desire for change, or an unethical victory.

Ahh! The Lovers, we all get that fuzzy feeling when we see the Lovers but wait before you draw to conclusions. They don’t necessarily represent a love affair; they could represent an important relationship but necessarily a marriage. We could be  looking at a harmonious business relationship where both parties will greatly benefit. It could be a friendship that will be very fulfilling. 

If it is describing a relationship of any sort, this card is indicating that everything is going well
  and that the relationship is bringing happiness and joy. If you have been through a tough time, then The Lovers are telling you that the problems will blow over and that harmony will take its place.

OR... The Lovers could describe an important choice you have to make. It could be a choice between two lovers, or two jobs, or... If this is the case, often your choice will involve some sort of sacrifice. For example, if you are torn between two job opportunities; one could be paying well but work conditions are so great while the other doesn’t pay so well but offers many perks.

If it is describing an intimate relationship; one of the classic meanings of this card is the love triangle. Whether you are the victim or the offender someone is going to get hurt and choices will have to be made. If you are the victim; can you forgive and forget? Or do you need to walk away? If you are the offender; do you choose your clandestine lover or your official partner? Who do you leave behind?

The Lovers could also be describing other choices such as spiritual choices. 

On the “Upside Down”side of things; this card could be warning about quarrels, infidelity, possibility of wrong choices, basically a need to stabilize emotions.
