After Demeter shows the cycles of fate, the girl moves forward. She enters an ancient city destroyed by storms. Stone pillars of the old era have collapsed. Every step treads on cracks, as if walking on broken rules.
In the center of the ruins, Athena Goddess appears. She holds a sword in one hand and scales in the other. Her eyes are calm and sharp, seeing through the dust to the truth beneath.
Athena places the scales before the girl. She speaks firmly: "The shift of fate cannot be avoided. Now, you must face the truth. You can accept the judgment of others, or you can learn to measure with your own eyes. Remember: External laws are just projections of others' will. If you treat them as eternal, they will replace your voice."
Staring at the scales, the girl realizes: If she does not judge, others will judge for her. If she does not define justice, the world will define it.
The real challenge is not the ruins, but finding your own standard within them. Justice is not a rule; it is the awakening of self-value.
II. Deep Dive into Tarot Card Meanings: The Justice Meaning
(Image Suggestion: Comparison of Rider-Waite, Marseille, and Goddess Tarot Justice Cards)
2.1 Rider-Waite Perspective: Truth Returning to Center
In the Rider-Waite system, Justice sits on a throne. Her sword points to the sky; her scales weigh reality. She symbolizes Karma, Balance, and Fairness.
Psychologically, this is the stage of Self-Decision. You must take responsibility for your choices, not rely on external praise. The Justice Meaning reminds us: Truth is not an abstract idea; it is a principle you must execute.
2.2 Tarot de Marseille Perspective: Maturity of Boundaries
In the Tarot de Marseille, Justice (La Justice) creates a vertical line between sword and scales. This symbolizes Clarity, Limits, and Structure.
She is not swayed by emotion. This system emphasizes: True justice is not gentle; it is precise. It represents the ability to center your life, distinguishing "what is mine" from "what is not mine."
2.3 Goddess Tarot Perspective: Awakening Female Judgment
In the VidaWheel Goddess Tarot system, Justice is carried by Athena Goddess—the embodiment of wisdom, strategy, and clear boundaries.
Her scales do not obey outside laws; they invite women to measure the world by their own standards. Her sword does not harm; it cuts the illusions of the past.

III. Athena Goddess Myth & 21st Century Female Power
Modern women are torn between expectations, structures, and scripts. They know how to bear burdens, but are rarely taught how to judge. They know how to obey, but lack the right to say "No."
When Justice appears, it is a trial point. A woman must define value for herself—not by her parents' expectations, her partner's standards, or society's norms.
Athena Goddess reminds you: If you don't set boundaries, your kindness will be misused. If you don't speak the truth, you will be trapped in a story that isn't yours.
Justice is not coldness; it is awakening. It is not an attack; it is a return to the center. It symbolizes a woman taking back her sword—not to fight, but to protect her reality.
