Justice in a romance reading can mean a variety of things. If Justice appears in a love tarot spread, it is important to ask for further insights and rely on surrounding cards for more information to understand why this card is appearing. For all you Libras out there, this article might especially interest you.

In some instances, Justice can relate to a woman [or man] getting rightful revenge on their partner. Assertively confronting or standing up for themselves in the face of injustices big and small will be represented by the Justice card if accompanied by cards such as the 8 of Swords+ 10 of Swords, 3 of Swords + 2 of Cups Rx and many other possible combinations.

In other instances, Justice can represent divorce proceedings finally coming to a close between two quarreling parties. It can be a very positive card to pull, at least for one party member. Someone will get what is rightfully due to them based on the justice system in concern to their partnership. In more unfortunate circumstances, if one is asking if the divorce proceedings will go their way and they get Justice Rx, it is highly questionable if they will get what they are due [more child support, the house, etc. etc.]. Then again, is this always a bad thing? Sometimes, if someone is greedy and undeserving, they deserve to lose out.

In more positive cases, Justice can represent two parties that have been together but have broken up trying to make things right again. The Justice card corresponds with Libra in astrology, the sign that deals with partnerships and trying to find a healthy balance. So, for example, if you get the 5 of Swords Rx, 6 of Cups and Justice, you could possibly interpret this as an end to empty strife and the beginning of a journey to finding balance between two separated but regretful lovers. It is very possible that if one partner has more Libran influences than the other, that this partner would successfully use compassionate logic to try to ‘fix’ the situation. Of course, it won’t always be successful - but it represents that through communication, since Justice is an Air card, some closure needs to at least be sought. Fighting is over [5 of Swords Rx] and one or both lovers feels nostalgic for the relationship [6 of Cups].

In my own life, I have gotten this card for an estranged lover who became interested in me again, but only after I approached them and explained the pros and cons of us getting back together, and why it was unfair - keyword, unfair! - that they gave up on the relationship too soon, and the speech was successful.

At a more basic level, Justice can also represent open, honest communication between two people. Have you ever pulled Justice in the context of love/romance/feelings for another/another's feelings for you? What have your experiences been with this card in love, or maybe just in general? I'd love to hear feedback.

P.S. Happy blue moon tonight!

I had this card pulled for me in a tarot reading regarding an old boyfriend that I initiated a breakup with a year ago. He recently tried to connect back with me and i wanted to know his motivation.

The justice card appeared in a past position. And, the 6 of Cups was actually in the present position. The wheel of fortune was in the future position.

I was advised that the justice card indicated that my old boyfriend probably thought I did the "right and just" thing by dissolving the relationship. That it was the right thing to do. She also said it indicates nostalgia and looking back. In other words, he was feeling nostalgic for old times and that is why he reached out.

I am just learning of the tarot and I appreciate your interpretation of the cards.

Hey Ingriders, thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear about the love predicament. I'll give my best interoperation of what I feel is going on:

6 of Cups is indeed, romantic/platonic nostalgia. He is bittersweet and wants you back. He is reminiscing about the emotionally fulfilling and romantic times you two have shared together. There is nothing extremely lustful about his nostalgia, he just misses the warmth and companionship it gave him [since this is a gentle card, a Cups card which deals primarily with emotion... the lust would have shown if the Devil had come up with this card].

Wheel of Fortune is interesting for this one. This could mean an unexpected twist of karma, fate for you both. Maybe a chance meeting of some kind? Things looking up for the better? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you two randomly happened to bump into each other and something positive or healing arose from it. Since with Justice appearing yes, he probably felt that you rightfully stood up for yourself and ended the relationship, but it could also mean for the future his attempt to try to balance things out and find a happy medium between you two, since he seems to really miss what you had.

You could say that this card carries a hint of emotional distance - but it isn't always indifference or coldness. But, this depends highly on surrounding cards. If we get, for example, the 3 of Swords Rx, the 10 of Cups rx, 2 of cups Rx, followed by Justice, 8 of Swords Rx and 5 of Swords for example, we have a situation with heart break and revenge. Justice here does represent the emotionally aloof, who has no difficulty coldly and mentally - since Air is the mind - thinking about what to do, and also presenting to the other partner what is wrong, why it is over, etc., or in more vicious terms considering the 5 of Swords, cooly executing their revenge since Justice makes it 'right',
