Justice

Number 11, The Justice card.

The Justice card represents truth and fairness. Here we see a Pixie holding up scales with the rune of Algiz in the center, which symbolizes aligning with our divine paths. The open curtains in the background show us that now is the time for everything to be revealed.
Everything has a consequence - good or bad. Our actions, no matter how big or small, will always be judged. The Justice card in a reading tells us that judgement will be made fairly and accordingly, which may or may not play in your favour.
If you have hurt someone in the past, this card can serve as a warning. Prevent a negative outcome by trying to right what you've done wrong. Now is your chance to make a change and create a better future.
If you have been wronged, you may feel a sense of relief viewing this card. Take solace in the fact that whatever/whoever has wronged you will soon be judged.
Alternatively, this card can also remind us of our own judgments. How to we look at those around us? Do we often make snap judgments? Is there truth in what we say/think? Before we assume something or take a certain side, try to find the truth behind the matter first.

Reverse:

Upright:

Imbalance, Lack of accountability, Injustice, Unfair treatment, Dishonesty

Card in Reverse:

In reverse, the Justice card can tell us that you may be running from your guilt. You may not be able to accept the consequences of your actions. Perhaps there is something that happened in the past that you ultimately know was wrong, and you're afraid of being held accountable for them.
Just remember that whatever it was is now in the past. All that matters is what actions we take now. How can you return balance to the scales? What can you do now that will make up for the wrong of the past?
Take this as a sign that now is your chance to make a change for the better. Every single person on this planet has made mistakes, and we will get no-where if we try to run from them.
