Justice
you already know the verdict.
upright — what she sees
accountabilitytruththe scalescause and effect
you already know the verdict. drawn upright, justice speaks of accountability, truth, the scales. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — cause and effect made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
dishonestyimbalanceevasionunfair
the scales tip. you're the thumb. reversed, the card turns inward — dishonesty, imbalance, evasion. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, justice is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
