Justice, as she appears in the Tarot and in our tradition, is a woman, and such matters of conscience fall within woman's traditional province, which is feeling.

Nichols's analysis of the Justice card as an archetype of feeling-based judgment resonates implicitly with the Maatian principle of cosmic balance, situating the weighing function within a depth-psychological understanding of the feminine.

JUSTICE, 71 Maturation

Banzhaf's structural placement of the Justice card as a stage of heroic maturation in the Tarot journey implicitly invokes the Maatian theme of reckoning and true measure as a developmental threshold.
