The Justice Tarot Card Description

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. 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.

Upright Justice as Feelings

The upright Justice card reveals how someone feels about you, showing that they approach their emotions with a level-headed and analytical mindset. Their feelings aren’t just driven by chemistry; they reflect on how you've treated them in the past. If your interactions have been filled with kindness and respect, expect those positive vibes to return tenfold. On the other hand, if negativity or hurt has marked your relationship, they're acutely aware of it and feel accordingly.

This card serves as a mirror for your own feelings, prompting introspection about fairness and balance within yourself. You might be wrestling with questions of integrity or seeking clarity in your emotional landscape. Justice urges you to evaluate whether you're being true to yourself while also considering how your actions align with what you desire from others.

Upright Justice as Actions

Guided by the Justice card, now is the time for you to seek balance and fairness in your actions. This means evaluating situations with a clear mind and making decisions based on truth rather than emotion. You should focus on being honest with yourself and others, ensuring that your choices reflect integrity. Consider addressing any unresolved conflicts by having open conversations where you express your feelings while also listening to others' perspectives. Additionally, take steps to align your daily actions with your values; this could involve volunteering or advocating for causes that resonate with you, reinforcing a sense of justice in both personal and community matters.

Reversed Justice Meaning

A reversed Justice tarot card could indicate various things. One Justice reversal meaning is to show you are living in denial. You are not willing to accept the consequences of your actions or others. You are running from your guilt. You must however, be aware that these are actions that are in the past. Your future depends on your actions today - and what you will do to tip the scales in balance again. How can you make up for your wrongs? Taking action gives you a chance to change and stop judging yourself. In legal matters, this could represent an unfair outcome of a case that you will not accept.

Reversed Justice Tarot Love Meaning

Sometimes, love and romance can be unfair. You may be doing your part in putting yourself out in the world, but luck is still not on your side. Whatever the case may be, sometimes one must grit their teeth and carry on. Now may also be a good time to check whether your are being fair with your expectations about love. Are you looking for someone absolutely perfect, but are unable or unwilling to work on your own flaws? Be honest with your requirements, as well as your own baggage. If you’re in a relationship, this may be a difficult time, and fairness and compromise are needed more than ever. Don’t blame others, or your partner for things that are your responsibility.

Career Meaning - Reversed Justice

You may be dealing with some unfair situations at work right now. This can mean taking the blame for someone else, or others attempting to undermine the quality of your work. While it may be tempting to fight fire with fire, this can only worsen the issue. Remain reasonable, logical and forthright with how you handle this situation. With reversed Justice, you may find that heated confrontations can mean the blame will rest on you. Sometimes, this card can also signal that you haven’t quite been honest when it comes to your career. This can lead to trouble for you in the future; or even if it doesn’t, can lead to continued anxiety as you wonder when the other shoe will drop. If you still have time, make amends and change your habits now. If you have been avoiding accountability for a mistake and hoping that the blame may fall on others, not only are you eroding trust between you and your colleagues, but you are also throwing away a chance to learn from your mistakes and grow.

If you’ve been having a hard time with your finances, the reversed Justice card can also signal failure to take accountability for your situation. Taking responsibility for a difficult situation can sound unpleasant, but it can also be empowering.

Reversed Justice as Feelings

When the reversed Justice card appears in relation to how someone feels about you, it reveals a sense of imbalance and confusion in their emotions. They may feel that fairness has been compromised, leading them to question your intentions or the dynamics of your relationship. Their feelings are clouded by past grievances or perceived injustices, making it difficult for them to fully embrace what could be a positive connection.

As you navigate your own feelings, this card suggests that you might be grappling with self-doubt and uncertainty. You could be feeling as though things are not aligning as they should, prompting introspection about whether you've acted justly in this situation. This reflection can lead to deeper insights into both yourself and the relationship at hand, urging you to seek clarity before moving forward.

Reversed Justice as Actions

In the presence of the reversed Justice card, you’re encouraged to take a step back and reassess your current situation.

Engage in open conversations with those affected by your decisions, seeking clarity and resolution. This period of reflection will help you realign with your values and restore harmony in both personal and professional relationships.
