78 Tarot · First Edition
Justice
Justice sits between two pillars, holding a double-edged sword in one hand and balanced scales in the other. Her expression is impassive — she judges without bias. The veil behind her is only half-pulled back, suggesting that full truth is never entirely visible. This card governs all matters of law, ethics, and karmic consequence.
Upright Meaning
Truth will prevail. Legal matters, important decisions, and situations requiring ethical clarity are all favored — provided you have acted with integrity. Justice asks you to be radically honest: with others, but especially with yourself. The outcome will be fair, even if it is not easy.
Reversed Meaning
Injustice, dishonesty, or evasion of accountability. A legal situation may go unfairly, or you may be avoiding honest self-reckoning. Refusing to see your own role in a situation is holding you back from resolution.
♥ Justice in Love
Honesty and mutual fairness are the foundation of a healthy relationship. If there has been dishonesty or imbalance, this card asks for a direct reckoning. Only truth will restore harmony.
◈ Justice in Career
Legal and contractual matters are highlighted. Be scrupulously honest in all professional dealings. Disputes will be settled — fairly if you've played with integrity.
Daily Affirmation
"I live with integrity. Truth and fairness guide every decision I make."
