11-Justice – Reversed Golden Deck

Your Chosen Card – Justice Reversed Golden Deck

When reversed, Lust or Strength implies that you may need to muster the courage to confront your difficulties. Perhaps you are feeling fearful or hopeless in the face of powerful instinctual desires you imagine are beyond your control. On the other hand, you may have gone overboard in trying to win admiration for how attractive or sexually adept you are, causing others to experience you as domineering, vain, self-aggrandizing, or controlling.

Keywords Reversed: Lack of courage, abuse of power, unbridled lust, perverse sexuality, satyriasis, nymphomania, addiction, repression of instinctual desires, inability to cope with powerful emotions, cowardice, self-aggrandizement.

Key VIII: Lust or Strength (Fortitude, Lust). This card is numbered XI in traditional Marseille decks.
Myths/Archetypes: The Hero. Joan of Arc. The Dragon Slayer. The Satyr. Hercules and the Nemean Lion. David and Goliath. Samson and Delilah. Kundalini.
Dates of Leo: 23 July–23 August; 18 August–16 September (sidereal)
Astrology: Leo, the Lion (a Fire sign ruled by the Sun)
Numerology: 8 (Lust or Strength, or Justice) = 1 + 7 (The Star)

Mathers: Equilibrium, balance, justice; (R) bigotry, want of balance, abuse of justice, over-severity, inequality, bias.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Early in the fifteenth century, artisans in northern Italy added a fifth trump suit to the four standard suits of the Mamluk-inspired cards, creating a deck to play the game of trionfi, or triumphs, similar to the modern game of bridge. The word tarot may derive from the Italian name for the deck, tarrochi. Renaissance artists drew their inspiration for the allegorical images on the trump cards from the Bible as well as from ancient Greek and Roman manuscripts, which were all the rage in Renaissance Italy. Each trump in the card sequence outranks the one that comes before it.
