CHECK YOURSELF!
La Wise Latina reigns supreme, holding the proverbial scales of Justice/La Justicia in one hand and, in the other, a sharp sword pointing straight up to the heavens—she’s made a decisively fair, clear, and logical ruling. With the richness of her experiences, she can understand the difficult choices you’ve had to make; she’ll bring her whole self to bear in her deliberations, reaching a better conclusion than others who have not lived that life.
If you get La Wise Latina in a reading, ask yourself: Am I acting ethically and with integrity, valuing the truth, and looking out for the greater good of all concerned? You’d better hope so, because otherwise she’ll hit you with a dissent so fierce, you’ll be feeling her chancletazo for weeks and months to come.
She’s holding down the fort, fighting foolishness left and right, so please work with her, gente. And if others have acted unfairly toward you… ay bendito. This tía WILL hold them accountable. Punto final.
