Justice (XI)

Integrity, consequences, balance

The Justice tarot card is a symbol of truth, fairness, and law. As she sits in her chair, the scales in her left hand represent how intuition should balance logic. She symbolizes impartiality with the double-edged sword in her right hand, much like the goddess Nemesis. The clarity in thought which is required to dispense justice are symbolized by the square on the crown she wears. Behind her, there is a purple cloak and standing grey pillars. Beneath her red cloak, which is held together by a clasp, she shows the tip of a white shoe. This is a spiritual reminder that what she delivers are the outcomes of their actions.

Meaning

The decisions that you make now have long-term effects in all things, both for yourself and others. There will always come a time where you will be judged. The Justice tarot card appearing in a reading signals that a judgment will be made fairly and accordingly. The decisions that you have made in the past will be carefully weighed with fairness. Your feelings around this card may differ depending on your situation.

If you have been wronged, this card's appearance may bring you relief. On the other hand, if your actions caused pain to others, this card serves as a warning. Her appearance represents a chance for you to change your actions now for a better future. When a tarot card reading shows the figure of justice, it is time to account for your actions.

Key Themes

The Fool encounters the Justice stage immediately following the Wheel of Fortune, because the universe always must remain in balance, and Justice must follow every action. The Fool learns to act with integrity because their actions will always naturally have consequences.

What This Foretells

Upright: cause and effect, clarity, truth Reversed: dishonesty, unaccountability, unfairness

Memorization Tip

Justice is often thought of in association with scales as a symbol of balance and order. The scales held by the woman point to the balance that is always maintained in the universe through divine retribution.
