Tarot meanings · Major Arcana

Justice

The image · Justice sits upright, a sword in her right hand, scales in her left, looking straight ahead.

Upright

  • fairness
  • truth
  • cause and effect
  • balance

Justice is about cause, effect and fairness: what you do echoes back, what you say should count. See the facts honestly, then decide.

Reversed

  • unfairness
  • bias
  • avoiding accountability

Reversed, there may be bias or things hidden, or someone avoiding responsibility that's theirs — yourself included.

Love

In love, treating each other as equals, giving in balance; reversed, settle accounts openly instead of storing up grudges.

Work

At work, good for contracts, negotiation, rules; reversed, look for unfairness in agreements and processes.

Yes or no?

Upright · Leaning yesIf you've acted fairly and clearly, the outcome will be fair.

Reversed · Leaning noThere's unfairness or an unspoken truth — get clear first.

Yes / No is only this card's leaning — the decision is yours.

How they feel

They're weighing whether this relationship is balanced, and value honesty.

As advice

Lay out the facts and make a decision whose consequences you'll own.

Ask yourself

If you were completely honest, what is your share of this?
