Balancing the wrongs of the past and setting them correct is the intention of this card. Just as in the laws of karma there is a cause and effect to each and every action that we do. The sword is held high in the right hand to symbolize the action of correcting wrongs and holding the balance of justice, also symbolizes the cutting out of negative thoughts. The card also represents impartiality/ severity/ criticism/ logic/ analysis / decision/ responsibility and Justice.
The appearance of this card in a reading suggests the querent to look for a mistake that he has done, and apologize for it. The querent may have to pay for a past mistake that it has done. Pausing in the pace of life and thinking in which aspects of your life have you been unfair, and taking the turn for it is also required. Maybe the querent has lost spiritual enrichment for sheer materialistic drive and vice versa.
