Work and money

Contracts, paperwork, and legal matters go your way if you act with integrity.

Advice

Be honest and fair: you'll reap what you sow.

Symbolism

A figure in a crown and red cloak sits between two pillars, holding a raised sword in one hand, which cuts cleanly to the truth, and scales in the other, which weigh things evenly. She looks straight ahead, without a blindfold, because she sees things as they really are. The white foot peeking out from under the cloak is a reminder that fair decisions have consequences in the world.

Yes or no?

Maybe. In a yes or no reading, Justice doesn’t give a closed answer: it’s a maybe. It depends on your choices and on timing. Yes or no tarot
