Justice
Description
Justice sits enthroned with her scales and sword, embodying the perfect balance between rigor and clemency. Her scales weigh pros and cons with relentless precision, while her sword cuts with clarity. In the Tarot de Marseille, Justice bears number VIII (unlike the Rider-Waite which places it at XI). She represents the law of cause and effect, karma, and the necessity of taking responsibility for one's actions. Justice invites honesty with oneself and others, fairness in decisions, and the pursuit of truth.
Upright meaning
Justice represents balance, truth, and the fair consequences of your actions. She calls upon you to make equitable decisions and take full responsibility for the choices you have made.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, Justice indicates unfairness, imbalance, or a refusal to face the truth. She may signal a biased decision, a lack of honesty, or karmic consequences catching up with you.
Advice
Be honest with yourself. The balance you seek comes through truth, even when it's uncomfortable.
