Join us daily for the a spirit led journey into what it means to be sovereign
Together, Justice and The Way of Discernment make the next two weeks feel like a time to take stock. Justice asks us to look at what has brought us here, where things have tipped out of balance, and what now needs to be faced. The Way of Discernment asks us not to rush that process, but to listen more carefully to what we already know underneath the noise.
There is a risk of getting pulled into everything that feels wrong, or letting distrust colour the whole picture. These cards suggest a steadier approach. See clearly, listen inwardly, and then decide what needs to change, what needs to go, and what needs to be brought back into balance.

Maat, Goddess of Justice, weighing the hearts. A gatekeeper. A force daring to meet. The shadows of the underworld. She who relentlessly examines the soul sprawled out before her. The karmic law of cause and effect. A lively process ensuring balance. A key milestone in the archetypal journey. A demonstration and exacting of authority. Any justice meted out is contingent upon the scales, the weighing, rather than independent of them. There is no way around this. We cannot reason, argue or persuade. We cannot threaten or bribe. The only thing that will meet the requirements is a reckoning: a weighing-in of our actions to date, and the decisions we took to get here; and an adjustment of our course if it is found we took a karmic path.

At its worst here we only see the crisis, focus on bad news, only being tuned to the vibrations of chaos. Human emotional connection can be riddled with distrust in one another but ultimately the distrust in life. It carries a lot of weight, it drags behind it the experimental weight of human history. Do not be stuck in this human wound. We’ve forgotten about beauty in the world, so trust in the present moment and most importantly, we’ve forgotten about love. Start listening inwardly again, to your body, to your heart. This is the secret. Listen to your heart. Discern the heart first, then bring in the mind. You can only hear someone else’s heart if you can hear your own heart. Empathy is all embracing. It’s witnessing, it’s an
