Arcanum 8 Justice in the Destiny Matrix
The eight in the Destiny Matrix is Justice, also called Judgment. The main theme of the arcanum is balance, and it will be tested throughout life. A person with the eight has a boomerang that returns quickly, both in a good way and in a bad one.
Energy in the plus
- Heightened sense of justice, stands up for the weak
- Responsible, can be relied on in serious matters
- Reads people well, makes for strong psychologists
- Finds themselves in law, government structures, esotericism
- Understands the law of cause and effect and lives by it
Energy in the negative
- Quick temper, touchiness, leaves without explanation
- Order for the sake of order, because they weren't praised much as a child
- Dependence on others' judgment: what will people, parents, husband say
- Considers themselves entitled to judge and hand out verdicts
- Imposes their own rules on others as the only correct ones
- Balance between taking, giving and allowing pleasure is disrupted
What kind of energy is this
The eight lives in a world where everything comes back. Do something good, good things arrive, act crookedly, it comes back fast and noticeably. People with this arcanum usually feel this intuitively, so they try to be honest themselves and demand the same from others.
This is where the main difficulty grows from. The demand for justice easily turns into a demand for conformity: to my rules, my ideas of what's right. And then the person becomes a judge for their loved ones.
The second theme of the eight is the balance between how much you give and how much you take. An imbalance in either direction comes back as a lesson, so it's important for the eight to learn both to receive and to allow themselves pleasure.
Justice in different points of the matrix
- In the center life turns into a constant test of honesty and balance.
- In personality points it gives seriousness and reliability, but also vulnerability to criticism.
- In the relationship zone the eight keeps score of contributions. As soon as the score is skewed, conflict begins.
- In the money zone money comes for honest work and leaves with imbalance, for example when a person takes more than they give, or vice versa works for free.
- In the ancestral line there is often a story of injustice that the family line never voiced.
How to turn the eight positive
- Separate justice from your personal sense of being right. These are different things.
- Check the balance: how much I give and how much I allow myself to receive.
- Talk about resentment right away, rather than leaving silently.
- Learn to accept praise without devaluing it.
- Don't judge people by your own rules, they may have had different circumstances.
