Natural justice governs you
She'll only give you what you're due

The Scales card is about two things.

The first is balance. Balance in all things: in our psyche (between the id, ego and superego), between work and play, between family and friends, between optimism and pessimism, between logic and intuition. Like a skater on ice, we can only advance if on balance.

The second is fairness. It reminds us that there is a natural justice that goes beyond the everyday justice meated out by policemen, judges and juries, and to have faith in that natural justice. It is not our job to judge others, we should leave that to higher powers, and judge only ourselves.
