The image

A crowned figure in red sits between two pillars, holding upright scales in one hand and a raised sword in the other. Justice weighs the facts and cuts through to the truth.

Upright meaning

In general

The outcome will be fair and based on what is true. Act with honesty and take responsibility; what you put in is what comes back.

In love

Fairness and honesty are the foundation. A balanced relationship, or an honest conversation about imbalance, is indicated.

At work

Decisions are made on merit. Contracts, legal matters or evaluations are likely to go fairly if you have been honest.

With money

Fair deals and clear agreements are favoured. Keep records, read contracts and expect a balanced result.

Reversed meaning

In general

Something feels unfair, or someone is avoiding the truth. Be honest with yourself about your own part and stand up for what is right.

In love

An imbalance or dishonesty is affecting the relationship. Bring things into the open instead of keeping score.

At work

Unfair treatment or a messy dispute is possible. Document everything and get advice if needed.

With money

Watch for unfair terms, disputes or legal trouble. Double-check agreements before you commit.
