The Justice carries the capacity for impartiality. In its functional expression, it considers people, situations, and competing interests without allowing personal preferences, relationships, status, or emotions to unfairly influence our judgment. When distorted, it can express itself as retribution. In this form, it believes wrongdoing must be answered with an equivalent consequence, becoming focused on making others pay for the harm they have caused.
When this card comes up in a reading...
Justice may be pointing to a need for fairness and accountability, or revealing where retribution has taken over. It invites us to consider whether we are seeking a fair and appropriate response to what has happened, or becoming invested in making ourselves or others pay for what was done.

Acts according to principles of fairness and what we believe is right, maintaining consistency between our values, judgments, and actions even when doing so is difficult or personally costly.
