Maat (Fairness)

“This situation will be handled in a fair and just manner.”

Message from Maat: Let me suggest another definition for fairness: It’s when all parties involved surrender their personal agendas in favor of the greater good for the entirety of the group. This requires trust in the wisdom of the whole. When it comes to matters of disputes, the attacks are based on fears that you may not receive your share. Yet, attacks amplify the hurt and the pain that caused the dispute in the first place. Why not surrender your attachment to a specific outcome, and instead, direct your holy will toward the resolution of the argument? Hold a firm vision of a peaceful outcome, and let the pieces fall into place in a harmonious manner.

Various Meanings of This Card: A lawsuit will be resolved • A dispute will end harmoniously • You’ll be treated fairly • Keep everyone’s needs in mind during negotiations • Release guilt and shame, as these emotions can attract a punishing attack.

About Maat: Maat is the Egyptian goddess of integrity, fairness and justice, who holds a scale that measures souls against a feather at the time of death to detect any heaviness from guilt. Maat protects us in business and personal relationships, ensuring that we’re treated fairly and honorably. Call upon her before signing any contract, during a dispute, or whenever you feel guilty or remorseful.
