EVEN though the Justice tarot card has simple images, its meanings are layered.
The scales on the map represent the balance we need to find in our lives: between intuition and logic, or between hope and caution.

The sword visible on the card reminds us that justice must be done after judgment.
Once the scale has ruled in favor of someone or something, our actions should reflect the decision made.
What does the Justice tarot card mean?
A straight Justice card can represent judgment, but not without mercy and compassion.
It goes both ways: if you’ve acted kindly in the past, the Justice card can represent that positive energy coming back to you.
Or, it could represent an enemy finally facing the consequences of his actions.
If so, you will be well served to act with compassion and not rejoice in their reward, as justice reminds us.
You may encounter this card shortly before an untruth is revealed to you, or you have a major realization about someone in your life.
If you spend too much time away from your family or too little time alone, this card may be calling you to find a better balance.
