Justice
The abstract, inverted Libra symbol is used to decorate the sword’s hilt, blending the scales directly with the blade, highlighting the Justice card’s association with Libra. But note: the scale motif on the sword hilt faces upward—toward the hand—while the two scales on each side face downward. So, is Justice truly as just as it appears? Or is it merely a self-righteous interpretation of justice?
Surrounded by mist, the sword pierces downward into the earth, as if slicing through the fog that clouds judgment and vision. At the same time, the scales on the hilt measure the surrounding circumstances.
The entire composition is symmetrical, emphasizing the theme of “balance and fairness.”
Libra’s ruling planet is Venus, which grants this sign a refined and elegant aura. Therefore, the sword and scales are adorned with decorative patterns composed of curves—softening the sword’s otherwise severe and imposing nature.
