Judgement

Judgment

The sun, in its unwavering path across the sky, shines upon all of us equally—without prejudice, without distinction. It does not discriminate between the righteous and the sinner, the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak. In this way, it serves as a symbol of divine fairness, an ever-present reminder that we all stand beneath the same light, bound by the same universal forces.

In the grand design of existence, judgment is represented by Libra, the scales of justice. Libra, often associated with balance, fairness, and accountability, reminds us that all actions have consequences. Yet, justice in the divine sense is not merely about punishment or reward—it is also about forgiveness and redemption.

Every evening, as the sun descends beyond the horizon, it appears to die, plunging the world into darkness. This daily event can be seen as a metaphor for judgment, as the sun, symbolic of life and truth, disappears from sight. In this moment of transition, we are reminded that all things must come to an end, and that each day we are given the opportunity to reflect upon our deeds. However, just as the sun sets, so too does it rise again, signaling renewal, rebirth, and the promise of another chance. Judgment, therefore, is not the end, but a process through which we are transformed, forgiven, and granted the opportunity to begin anew.

Forgiveness is a central tenet of divine justice. In Luke 11:4 (KJV), the words of Christ teach us:

“And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.”

These words emphasize the interconnected nature of judgment and mercy. True justice does not exist in isolation from compassion. Just as we seek forgiveness from God, we must also extend that same grace to others. To judge without mercy is to ignore the very essence of divine justice, which calls for both accountability and redemption.

We are all equal beneath the sun. Though our paths may differ, though our choices may lead us to light or shadow, we are bound by a common humanity. No one is beyond redemption, for the sun does not refuse to rise for the sinner, nor does it shine only upon the righteous. Judgment is not a final condemnation but an opportunity for growth, a recognition of our flaws with the promise of transformation.

The cycle of the sun reflects the eternal rhythm of existence—birth, death, and rebirth. It reminds us that each day we are judged, yet each day we are also forgiven. The scales of Libra remain balanced not by punishment alone, but by grace. When we forgive others, we honor this divine order, and in doing so, we ourselves are forgiven.

Thus, let us stand in the light, embracing both justice and mercy. Let us seek righteousness not in self-righteous condemnation, but in love, understanding, and the willingness to extend the same forgiveness that we ourselves hope to receive.
