“I have not been a person of anger. I have done no evil to humanity. I have not inflicted pain. I have made none to weep. I have done violence to no one. I have done no harm to animals. I have not robbed the poor. I have not fouled water. I have not trampled fields. I have not behaved with insolence. I have not judged hastily. I have not stirred up strife. I have not made any person to commit murder for me. I have not insisted that excessive work be done for me daily. I have not borne false witness. I have not stolen land. I have not cheated in measuring the bushel. I have allowed no person to suffer hunger. I have not increased my wealth except with things as are my own possessions. I have not wrongfully seized the property of others. I have not taken milk from the mouths of babes.”
 
 

PERSONAL YEAR 2
After the all those new beginnings of the previous year you may see this year as a bit boring and patience is required. Instant results are rare in a two year. So be prepared to wait once the seeds are planted, for the harvest may not be reaped for some time. But it's not a time to sit back. One step at a time is a very good ideas this year. Don't go racing ahead of yourself.

This year is about balancing yourself out. It's timely to embrace calmness and seek some spiritual pursuits. Why not take a course of action that will focus on developing your emotional control and spiritual awareness. You may find that your intuition is functioning better than ever this year....so take the time to check into those hunches. Of course the most appropriate course of action is to start meditating on a regular basis. If you have never meditated before this is an ideal time to start, as you will make much progress along these lines.

This year is a year for co-operation and service. Look for areas at home or at work where you can develop these aspects of yourself . Teamwork will bring great rewards and if you can learn to be diplomatic and tactful much will be accomplished.

You will act like a human magnet this year. Opportunities will come to you, so don't go racing around trying to find them. Sit back and let them come your way.

Of course the Number Two is a good omen for couples

Travel will bring many exotic and unexpected experiences and the majority of travel arrangements in a Two Year will be related to romance

 

"This is a year in which the scales of Justice seek the balance point between an once of flesh and a kilo of Karma. This is not just your bathroom scale weighing the sins of chocolate and cheese puffs, but rather a Cosmic Weight Watchers that measures the ratio of spiritual muscle to karmic fat. Karma sharma, you say? Just look in the mirror at the flab of unfinished past life lessons that hang like a spare tire and saddle bags on your aura. By the time you've hit a Justice Year, it's too late to crash into a spiritual fitness course. The best you can do now is throw yourself on the mercy of the court. What if you've been doing your spiritual calisthenics all along, and your aura is trim and fit? This is your year, then, to cash in on some of your just desserts. All those good deeds and thoughts made it into your celestial bank account, and here comes the interest check. Lucky breaks, happiness, success, fame or fortune can all be your maraschino cherry of good karma. Or conversely, you might find this a year to reap what you have sown in misdeeds and ill- thoughts. From bad luck to bad hair days, the scales can tip with little warning into payback territory. If you’ve been a naughty soul, it's a good a time as any to say your Hail Mary's, right any wrongs, to forgive and forget, and hope Justice will prevail in your favor. What goes around always comes around, and this is the year to learn that lesson once and for all. Legal battles, contractual difficulties, parking tickets are all external manifestations of an internal imbalance. Find your own middle ground this year, the balance point. Zen Buddhism anyone?"

 

 

The following are some examples of what I saw during the 21 month period that the Justice card was active in my life.  Note:   This is the type of synchronicity that you'll observe on your journey.  My personality card is the tarot card number 21, the World.  My Soul card is tarot card 3 the Empress.  Therefore how fitting that I should live my life in overlapping cycles of 21 months, with only a 3 month period of any one thing influencing me.  It isn't possible to generalize this into a fixed form to tell someone else that they will see xyz in their lives.  The whole point here is that each of us have a unique journey and we're offered signposts along the way that are tailored just to us.
