Card Imagery

A robed figure sits on a stone throne between two pillars, holding a sword upright in the right hand and balanced scales in the left. A crown sits atop their head with a small square jewel, symbolising clarity of thought. A purple veil hangs behind them.

Upright Meaning

Justice calls for truth, fairness, and accountability. This card asks you to weigh your decisions carefully, act with integrity, and accept the consequences of your actions. The scales must balance.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, Justice indicates dishonesty, unfair treatment, or avoiding responsibility. Someone may not be playing fair, or you may be refusing to accept the truth of a situation.
