Justice
Major Arcana, XI · Air · angel number 1111
Justice means fairness, truth and accountability, a decision weighed properly and a sense that what you give out tends to come back. Reversed, it shows something unfair, a bent truth, or someone avoiding responsibility.

From Rosemary's own notes on the card.
Justice upright
She holds the sword in one hand and the scales in the other, and she doesn't blink. Fairness, truth, balance, karma, accountability. The simplest way I can put Justice is that what you give out energetically often returns to you, so stay balanced, stay fair, stay honest and emotionally grounded. Justice shares 1111 with the Magician in my readings, and here it's spiritual awakening, angelic guidance, synchronicity, alignment with Source. The truth and the awakening arrive together.
Justice reversed
Something's unfair and you can feel it in your body before you can explain it. Somebody's avoiding accountability, and it might be you, or a truth is being bent so nobody has to deal with it. The scales find their level. Your job is to stay honest while they do.
In love
Honesty and balance, or a hard look at where they've gone missing. The energy here favors the truth being told, by both people, out loud.
In work and money
Fair dealing, and a decision that gets weighed properly. Keep your side of it clean. The energy of this card gives back what's given.
As advice
Own your part and set down what is not yours to carry. Speak plainly, and keep your side of every agreement clean.
Yes or no?
Maybe, because Justice gives a fair result based on what has been put in, so the answer depends on honest effort and facts. A single card shows a lean, never a promise of how things turn out.
For yourself
Owning your part is a kind of self-respect. Take what's yours, set down what isn't, and the scales settle on their own.
