Has someone mistreated you, or perhaps, have you harmed someone? Now is the moment to settle past grievances, take accountability for your actions, and wait for the aftermath to subside. Card number XI (or sometimes number XIII) is known as Justice, and its significance is precisely that.
Justice focuses on rectifying our mistakes, receiving what is owed to us, and karmic outcomes (both positive and negative). It is often associated with the legal system, but not all debts will be resolved in a court of law.
Many life lessons unfold in a domain that is separate from judges and jurors. One remarkable aspect of this card is that it consistently brings about a just outcome that levels the playing field for all parties involved.

JUSTICE TAROT CARD DESCRIPTION
Adorned in a crimson cloak, Lady Justice wears both a crown and a raised balance scale. This scale is a symbol of impartial and unbiased decisions.
The sword in her other hand represents the ‘swift hand of justice’ that is ready to strike upon us all if we make the wrong choices. A tangible reminder of the consequences of our actions, she embodies both fairness and the law.
The significance of committing to truthfulness, striving for equality, and considering all factors shines through in this Major Arcana card.
UPRIGHT JUSTICE CARD MEANING
In the upright position, the Justice tarot card signifies cause and effect, as well as balanced thinking and behavior.
There are occasions when we become victims of another person’s malicious intentions. If you have been wronged in any way, Justice appears to restore equilibrium and order.
This does not imply that things will unfold exactly as you desire. However, drawing this card in a reading does lend support to the saying “All’s well that ends well.
JUSTICE CARD MONEY AND CAREER SIGNIFICANCE
Have you ever heard the phrase “receiving your fair share?” This means to obtain what you are entitled to in the end.
When it comes to finances, the Justice tarot card will deliver any deserved outcomes you may anticipate, making it an extremely fortunate card in financial readings.

The same applies to workplace and friendship conflicts. If someone has harmed you, prepare to be publicly justified.
Regarding cautions, Justice provides a clear message: abstain from engaging in any corrupt or deceitful practices. While get-rich-quick schemes may be tempting, they always come with consequences. It is best to avoid them.
LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS SIGNIFICANCE
In the realm of love and relationships, the Justice tarot card symbolizes decisions and choices. Are you aware of your value? Accepting less than you deserve, whether single or committed, is never an option.
Sometimes, this means remaining single even when you witness others getting engaged or married. Other times, it means ending a once cherished relationship. Justice urges you to prioritize your authenticity and then move forward.
If you are going through the end of a relationship, a legal dispute may be on the horizon. It is difficult to say whether things will turn out in your favor or not. Nevertheless, Justice can represent valuable life lessons that will enable you to elevate yourself to a higher level, regardless of the outcome.
HEALTH AND SPIRITUALITY SIGNIFICANCE
This Justice tarot card is quite straightforward when it comes to matters of health and spirituality. Justice emphasizes the importance of balance in all aspects of life. Are you taking proper care of yourself?
“Self-care” has become an excessively used term that most of us disregard when we come across it. However, tending to your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being is your most crucial responsibility.
If the thought of this overwhelms you or you are unsure where to begin, take it slow. Consider three goals and take small steps towards achieving each one. Before you know it, you will attain total harmony!
REVERSED JUSTICE TAROT CARD SIGNIFICANCE
There is an unevenness of some kind. Typically, Justice appears in the reversed position when either you or someone else is being mistreated.
Dishonesty and vindictiveness may also be at play. Do you feel like a victim? Is someone being truthful or deceptive?
Remember, the sole individual you have influence over is yourself. Resist the impulse to retaliate or seek revenge. Take accountability for your own actions and decisions. The concept of karmic justice will take care of the rest.
The reversed Justice tarot card can also indicate an unethical act or action where you failed to take responsibility. Are you attempting to evade the consequences of this action? Is it simultaneously gnawing at your conscience?
If so, keep in mind that you cannot alter the past or undo your actions. Instead, accept your responsibility, learn from your errors, and move forward!
Fairness in a Yes or No Reading
Justice revolves around equity, equilibrium, and impartiality. Therefore, it is not typically used as a card to determine a yes or no answer.
If you are solely seeking this type of response, ask yourself these inquiries: Is _____ in my best interest? Will _____ have a negative impact on me or someone else?
If I receive a yes (or no), will I genuinely be content? Reflecting on these inquiries will provide you with the answers you seek.
Significant Justice Tarot Card Combinations
Justice emphasizes receiving what you deserve and experiencing karmic outcomes (both positive and negative). In combination with other cards, it also symbolizes fairness, integrity, and legal disputes. Below, you will find the most important Justice tarot card combinations.
Justice and the Tower
When these two Major Arcana cards align, harmony is about to be restored – but not without a phase of challenging transformation, which is indicated by the Tower.
Sometimes, in order to reach what awaits on the other side, we must be willing to pass through the fire. As challenging as it may be, do not resist the change or avoid the pain. You were previously heading in the wrong direction, but a U-turn is possible.
Justice and Judgement
Many people mistakenly confuse these two cards. Although they share some similarities, there are distinct differences between them. Justice typically represents the decision-making period while judgement symbolizes the time immediately following when everything is new.
When combined, these two cards urge you to do two things: accept your past and determine your future path.
There is no benefit in holding onto guilt or shame. Accept your mistakes and any repercussions that have arisen due to previous choices. Only then will you be ready to elevate to a new level of vibrational energy.
JUSTICE AND STRENGTH
Challenging times are either upon you or on their way, and preparedness is crucial. When Justice and Strength merge in a reading, your Spirit Guides want you to know that you possess the power to triumph in the battle.
This does not imply that it will be simple. Take some time to be solitary and harness your internal strength. What abilities do you possess to assist you get through the difficult days ahead? Arm yourself with these.
EQUITY AND THE PRIEST OR THE EMPEROR
The Equity tarot card frequently symbolizes legal matters, and when connected with the Priest or the Emperor, this implication is intensified. If you are not presently involved in a legal battle, one could be impending.
Or maybe, you need to proceed cautiously with regards to issues of the law or regulation.
If you want to reconcile a situation, this combination suggests the situation will resolve itself in a way that is just for all parties.
