Justice

Upright

fairness · consequence · clarity

Cause and effect are visible. Contracts, accounts and honest reckonings go well; so does saying the true thing about your own part.

Reversed

bias · evasion · imbalance

The scale is weighted — by bias, by unspoken information, or by a consequence being dodged rather than met.

Why this astrology

The trumps were attributed one by one to a planet, a sign or an element, which is how Justice came to carry libra · the balance struck. Read it as that force arriving in the question.
