It is the card of balance/justice for there are the scale of Libra. There are the 5 encircled pentagrams with 3 to right side and 2 to the left. One in the middle. The scale is in the left hand completely balanced while the coins(gold) is giving from the right hand.As for the pentagrams, there are 3 to the right for this is the hand of mercy. one in the middle for balance and 2 on the left representing severity(the north, according to Kabbalah)The Gold however comes from the north yet it is within the right hand.
G-D gives and creates with His/Her right hand meaning giving the Gold one can do much with the it. With the left hand G-d "punishes" hence the scales of balance and justice.
****on the Path of the tree of Life the letter Lamed, which in tarot equates to that of Justice connects the 5th sphere Gevurah to the 6th, that of beauty(tiphareth. Lmaed's sign is Libra.
I have to go attend to the kiddlings so I will expound more when I get the chance.
