 Justice is the purveyor of truth and honesty. In almost every deck she bears the scales, weighing right and wrong, and declaring that if you've been good, good things will happen to you. If you have been bad, well - you know.
Usually when Justice is reversed, it is time to pay the price for the wrongs you have committed, but it can sometimes mean that the wrongs that have been committed against you will be rectified. Questions answered by Justice: Who? The one who seeks the truth of the matter, such as a judge, parent, or teacher What? The truth Where? Somewhere requiring balance, such as the edge of a cliff, your bathroom scale, or on one foot as you put on your shoes When? When the truth comes out; September-October Why? Honesty is the best policy Yes or No? Neutral. The right action will lead to Yes, a dishonest action will lead to No What should I clean?

 The Wheel of Fortune is exactly as it sounds – In most decks it will possess an image of a giant wheel, often with all the symbols of the tarot (and perhaps astrology) inscribed upon it. It represents the endless cycle of bad luck and good luck that is ever present in our lives.
There is a reason it is one of the middle cards in the Major Arcana, it is a turning point, and continues to turn regardless of what is happening. One moment you are up, and the next moment you are down. Questions answered by the Wheel of Fortune: Who? The luckiest or unluckiest person in your family (depending on the subject) What? Agonize over what you can control, and let the other things go Where? At the roulette table; wherever you are taking a chance on something When? November-December; at any time; without warning Why? Because the cycle of life keeps going, and this is just one part of it Yes or No? Yes (Reversed: No) What should I clean?

 the Lovers represents a perfect blend of the head and heart; it could be the moment of an epiphany, when the thing you need to know suddenly comes to you in a spark of inspiration.
For the romantic at heart, yes it also means love, partnership, connection, and sex. Today we'll talk about locations. You could take a break in these spaces (room), go for lunch near them (city), or plan a trip (world). The Lovers as: A place in your house? • The bed • The couch or love seat A place in your city? • A theatre • The park • The beach A place in the world? • Paris • The Tropics • Virginia ("Virginia is for Lovers") Learn more with the Applied Tarot book!  I ordered a proof of the Tarot deck I'd created for the book. I like the feel and how easy it is to shuffle, but the designs still need a bit of work before I can produce any for sale.
Because decks come in packs of 80 and I only have 79 cards in my book, I included a card with my go-to "general" spread. This is the spread I use when clients don't know what to ask, or just want an overview of themselves or what's going on. Of course, since I was trying this deck out for the first time, I did the spread on myself to see what would happen. It wasn't great. Note: I also used reversed cards, as I tend to do in all my readings. There is a bit on page 3 about how to interpret reversed cards, so I encourage you to allow them in your readings, too. Maybe some day I'll release a book entirely about reversed cards, but for now you'll just have to trust your intuition about them. Card 1: My Present Self Judgement - I suppose by writing this book I've lived up to my karmic destiny, finally. Or I'm just super judgmental person. Also could be true. Card 2: My Goal or Wish Nine of Pentacles - Yes, my goal is to live in luxury, control falcons, and bounce balloons. Easy answer. Next! Card 3: An Action to Take Reversed Lovers - Now wait a minute here. Get a divorce? End a partnership? WTF. I don't have a partnership to end, so it must be the divorce thing, but I don't want that! Card 4: Who will help me? Reversed Seven of Swords - Someone who recently got away with a crime? Or does it mean someone who is the opposite of a criminal? So, like, a nun? I don't have any idea who this person is who will help me. I have to think about this. Card 5: The Outcome Reversed Two of Cups - Divorce. What the hell? Well, that was not a fun reading and I didn't like it. I am taking this to mean the deck is NOT ready for sale yet, so I should wrap it up and chuck it away. Maybe I'll give it to my husband--my best friend whom I respect and adore very much--as a parting gift. Interesting news for those of you who bought the early edition of the book - one of the cards within those pages has been completely changed. You'll just have to order the future deck or obtain the latest book version to figure out which card is different.
