Justice
Major Arcana · card 12 of 78 · reckoning, fair value, audits, consequences
Upright meaning
Justice holds the scales in one hand and a sword in the other, and only one of them is for show. This card is the market's long memory: the multiple that eventually contracts to match the growth, the accounting that eventually meets an auditor, the narrative that eventually meets a number. Nothing under Justice is dramatic — it is procedural, which is worse for those with something to hide and reassuring for everyone else. Fair value is not a target here. It is a verdict, and verdicts arrive on the court's schedule, not yours.
Market notes
Pairs with earnings that confirm or refute the story, valuation corrections, audit outcomes, guidance meeting reality, and mean reversion. Read against a 30-day trend converging toward stability after excess in either direction. Under Justice, an outsized `changePercent` reads as a sentence being carried out.
In the spread
In a past, present, future spread, this card takes the meaning of its seat: what has already happened, what is happening now, or which way the story leans. The position changes the tense. The card does not change its mind.
