Astrologically speaking, justice is ruled in part by Jupiter. It is the Moon above the Earth. Or in plain English, it is wisdom above the material. Justice has a lot to do with wisdom, our own personal wisdom and the wisdom of the world population. As individuals, we influence by setting a good example but to some degree we suffer the effects of global destiny. The other part of justice is ruled by Saturn. It is the Earth above the Moon. The Earth is real and can be punishing if we are not conscious of our thoughts and actions. Justice is always balancing the two sides. Maybe on a personal level, it is the difference between what we deserve and what we think we deserve.
One of the best explanations of this concept is written in a little book entitled
As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. One of the things that is written in this book is:
“Mind is the Master-Power that moulds and makes,
And man is mind and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass
Environment is but his looking-glass.”
We are basically responsible for our destiny, on a conscious and unconscious level. We have our beliefs rooted in religion, education and our family upbringing. All of these factors influence who we become. In many ways people are what they are brought up to be. But, there is always the possibility for more consciousness and we can upgrade our destiny if that is what we truly want. We can be just with ourselves, and, by this, we can be just with others.
