This is an excerpt from my longer blog post on the Justice card:
On the pendant design I’ve merged the sword and the scales. The pommel of the sword is a sun glyph and the tip of the sword is plunged into a crescent moon. This creates a balance point between day and night on which the scales hang. The sword also recalls the Ace of Swords and the element of air. The capacity for detachment and decisiveness lies here.
The Justice card is the card that relates to the zodiac sign of Libra and the constellation of the scales. Libra is ruled by the planet Venus and has much to do with relating, diplomacy, seeing the other side, and creating peaceful and harmonious environments. Libra is sometimes trolled as a sign that is not good at making decisions because both sides of a situation are so deeply considered. But is a quick decision “better” than a well-considered one?
On the reverse of the pendant is a sigil combining Venus’ planetary glyph and a deconstructed zodiacal glyph of Libra. It is of course as symmetrical as my human hand could carve it, to imply balance & harmony.
