Major Arcana — XI
Justice
Công Lý
The scale never lies — it is only slow.
- truth
- balance
- accountability
Yes–no lean: Unclear
Draw it in the drawing room →Upright
The scale wants the whole truth — including the part where you were wrong. A decision is only clean when you are willing to pay for it.
Reversed
Something is being tilted: a bias, or accountability pushed onto someone else. The scale is slow, but it does not forget.
Love
Love played straight tips toward a firmer promise; lies and cheating get found out, and the bill lands on the one who signed it. Reversed: arguments loop, blame slides to the easier target, or you disappear into the relationship. Before you point, check your own thumb on the scale.
Career & money
Clean dealing keeps the books level and the contract standing; a calculated risk may be worth weighing, not chasing. Don’t let work take the whole pan — leave weight for your people and yourself. Reversed: blame gets dumped on you, or money smells off; don’t charge in, keep records, own your part, skip risky bets.
On the card
A crowned figure between two pillars holds an upright sword in the right hand and balanced scales in the left. Red robe, square crown — measure for measure.
