XI · MAJOR ARCANA · NEO-DECO EDITION

Justice

UPRIGHT

Judgment needs evidence, proportion, and real consequence. Fairness does not please everyone; it applies a clear standard consistently.

REVERSED

Bias, missing information, or avoided responsibility may be tilting the scale. Admit your interest and blind spot before asking the situation to be fair.
