Did you know you could get an online tarot reading with the Deck of the Dreamers on FortunesNow? Also look for the Justice card in Stacie Layne Wilson's Rock 'N Roll Fantasy novel due out soon.

Past events do catch up to those who are responsible. Justice is life's payback for one's sins or acts of kindness. Present problems may be due to past actions.

The Hanged Man is a paradox. Sometimes by losing something, we gain something we need more. Sometimes we go forward by sitting completely still. Sometimes the worst possible solution to a problem is the way to solve it.

The Death card rarely represents physical death, but more likely a death of the current situation. Sometimes in order to get where we need to be, we have to end some other aspect of our lives. You must end old habits, and realize that a loss is not a permanent state, but rather a transition.

After experiencing both extremes in life, it becomes necessary to find a middle point. Moderation is the key to finding harmony. Sometimes compromise is needed to obtain peace.

The Devil represents an obsession with material posessions. Lust and greed will lead you to depression and hopelessness. Sometimes we don't even see the chains around our own bodies. (If you look carefully, you can see the devil's reflection as an angel in the card).

Throughout our lives we build a solid wall around our egos and our emotions. It takes quite an event to bring that wall down. The Tower is that unexpected event.

The Star tells you that you are on the right track. You are doing exactly what needs to be done to achieve your goal. Following the star gives us hope in our lives.

The Moon tells us to examine the accuracy of our perceptions. Are we seeing things as they really are or changing them to fit a mold? The moon brings us creativity, but also raises fear and confusion. One must not let illusions lead them through life.

The Sun clears away all confusion and leaves a feeling of assurance. It brings with it enlightenment and renewed vitality. When you are one with the Sun, you realize the good in the world and are not afraid to embrace it.

Judgement tells you to look at your llife and decide whether or not changes need to be made in the future. One must realize his goal in life, look into all aspects of it, and set it into motion. You are the one who will judge and forgive yourself for past mistakes.

You have achieved understanding and are free of illusions. You have come to accept yourself and have confidence and strength in your pursuits. You enjoy mental and physical wealth as well as spiritual growth. All is well in your world. You must realize and embrace the possibility that your dreams are in your reach.
