Justice Tarot Card Meaning

Major Arcana, number XI

fairness, truth, accountability, balance

The card

A figure in red sits between two pillars, holding an upright sword in one hand and a pair of scales in the other, with a calm and direct gaze. Nothing is hidden from that look. The card asks you to weigh things honestly, to look at cause and effect, and to own your part in what happened.

Upright meaning

Fairness, truth, accountability.

Reversed meaning

Unfairness, avoiding responsibility.
