Upright Meaning
The Justice Tarot card is one of positive outcomes and fairness. If you are seeking justice in your life right now, this card is an encouraging one. It reminds you that the universe is working with the energy of you and those around you, and knows when and where harm has occurred. It is time to let go of your anger and let karma do its thing.
Of course, the Justice Tarot card might be serving you a warning. Have you wronged people recently? Perhaps you have not been as fair as you could be and soon you will be held accountable for your actions. Things you have done in the past might resurface and you will soon learn your lesson.
But, don’t worry too much about this. To grow as a person, we must learn from our mistakes and accept the bad things we have done in our life. The justice that will be coming your way will be fair, but it will demand you to take responsibility for your actions. This will ultimately help you, however. You cannot find inner peace and truth without facing your bad habits and negative actions.
The Justice Tarot card might also pop up in a reading if you have an important choice to make. This choice might have huge consequences on your life plan and those around you. The Tarot is asking you to think carefully about your decision and weigh up all the aspects involved. Listen to your truth, but do not rush into anything.
Reversed Meaning
When reversed, the Justice Tarot card is questioning the fairness of you and the people around you. It will often appear when deep down, you know you have done something wrong, but have not really addressed it in your life yet. It is asking you to question your own actions and face the consequences of things you might have done.
The reversed Justice card suggests that you, or someone in your life, are avoiding karmic justice. However, without facing up to what you have done, you cannot move on and grow spiritually. You are running from justice, but this is only harming you. Face the consequences and learn from them.
It might not be you who is being unfair, but you are not speaking up for unfairness and are therefore backing the person who has done wrong. The universe is telling you that you must stand up for the truth and what you believe in.
The Justice Tarot card also suggests that there might be an imbalance in your life right now, and you must address this. Things will soon come crashing down if there is not a firm and strong foundation.
