Justice Tarot Card Meaning
Truth, fairness, and accountability
By Marie Mystic
Justice Upright Meaning
Justice holds a sword in one hand and balanced scales in the other, weighing what is true. Upright, the card speaks of fairness, honesty, accountability and cause and effect. It asks you to look at the facts clearly, take responsibility for your part and make decisions you can stand behind. Truth may not always be comfortable, but it clears the way.
Justice Reversed Meaning
Reversed, Justice can suggest unfairness, dishonesty or avoiding accountability. You may feel something has not been weighed fairly, or you may be sidestepping a truth you already know. Ask where you could be more honest with yourself and others. Balance returns when the facts are faced.
Justice Card Combinations
With The Hanged Man, a pause brings a fairer view before deciding. With the King of Swords, clear thinking meets sound judgment. Beside the Wheel of Fortune, outcomes follow from earlier choices. Next to the Seven of Swords, honesty is called into question.
