Justice Yes or No Answer
When Justice appears in a yes or no reading, it delivers a clear maybe / needs clarification answer. Justice the outcome will be fair - what you receive depends on what you have given. As The Judge, The Balancer, The Arbiter of Truth, this card speaks with a wise and guiding energy: "The cards reveal what you already know within." The scales of justice represents balance, fairness, and weighing all sides equally, the divine principle of equilibrium and impartial judgment. The sword pointing upward represents clear thinking, truth, and decisive action, the cutting away of illusion to reveal divine truth and justice. The crown represents divine authority and spiritual wisdom in judgment, the higher consciousness that sees beyond personal bias. The card's visual story reinforces this answer: A regal figure sits on a stone throne between two pillars, wearing a red robe with a green cloak and a golden crown. In the right hand are balanced scales, while the left hand holds an upright double-edged sword.
