Justice

Major Arcana · XI · consequence · truth · fairness

Upright meaning

Justice weighs what actually happened, not what was intended. It reads as cause and effect arriving on schedule, and often appears around legal matters, contracts and decisions that will be judged by their fairness.

Justice reversed

A situation genuinely out of balance, or accountability being dodged. Reversed Justice can also mean you are judging yourself by a standard you would not apply to anyone else.

In love

Honesty required. Whether a relationship is equitable — who gives, who takes, and whether both would describe it the same way.

In career and money

Contracts, agreements, formal decisions. Favours doing it properly and documenting it; disfavours shortcuts that rely on nobody checking.
