Justice
A crowned figure sits between two pillars with a purple veil behind, a raised double-edged sword in the right hand and a set of balanced scales in the left. The eyes are open and level — this justice is not blindfolded.
★ Upright
Justice is cause and effect wearing a crown. Upright, it favors fairness, honest dealing, legal matters resolving as they should, and decisions made on evidence instead of preference. It also presents a bill: whatever is in motion now is the harvest of choices already made. If your hands are clean, this card is your friend.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the scales are tipped — unfair treatment, dishonesty, a verdict that misses the truth, or accountability being dodged, possibly by you. It counsels a fearless audit of your own part in the imbalance before appealing the ruling. Corrections made voluntarily cost less than the ones imposed later.
