Justice (XI) is the eleventh card of the Major Arcana and represents fairness, truth, law, and cause and effect. This card stands for accountability, balance, and the consequences of actions. Justice emphasizes that all actions have consequences, and the universe maintains equilibrium through the principle of karma - what you give out returns to you.
Justice is depicted as a figure sitting in front of a loosely hung purple veil (symbolizing compassion) between two pillars representing balance, law, and structure. She holds a sword in her right hand pointing upward - expressing firm and final decision - with a double-edged blade signifying that actions always carry consequences. The scales in her left (intuitive) hand represent impartiality and the balance between intuition and logic. Justice wears a crown with a small square representing well-ordered thoughts, and a red robe with a green mantle.
