What it means
Justice holds a sword in one hand and a pair of scales in the other. It is the card of truth, honesty and fair decisions. It says every action has consequences and that what you reap matches what you sowed. It can speak of legal matters, contracts and agreements, and it asks for clarity: seeing the facts as they are, without dressing them up in your favour.
In love
A balanced relationship, in which both give and receive. A moment for honest conversations and clear decisions.
At work and with money
Contracts, agreements and fair decisions. Legal matters tend to be settled in favour of whoever acted properly.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
