Justice upright
Keywords: Accuracy, Accountability, Balance, Consequence.
Justice is traditionally balance and law, and it reads as accuracy: seeing a situation at its real size, including your own part in it. It is the least sentimental card in the deck, and the most useful when you have been generous with your own version of events.
Justice reversed
Keywords: Bias, Avoided reckoning, Excessive self-judgement.
Reversed commonly indicates an account that has not been squared — either self-judgement past the point of usefulness, or a straightforward refusal to look. Ask which direction your bias currently runs.
