Justice and Temperance

Two cards of balance. Justice weighs with a scale, and Temperance blends with two cups. Expect fair compromise, mediation and steady equilibrium. Disputes resolve peacefully, agreements satisfy both sides, or a lopsided life comes back into proportion. In the Golden Dawn system Justice is Libra and Temperance is Sagittarius, fairness beside wisdom. The mood is calm and constructive, and patience plus candor will produce a result everyone can live with.

Justice and Temperance in love

Balanced, harmonious love. Disagreements resolve through fair compromise, such as splitting chores or alternating whose family you visit. A relationship benefits from open talks about sharing time, money and responsibilities. Patience and fairness keep the bond steady, and affection flows more easily once nobody feels shortchanged.

How they feel: Justice and Temperance as feelings

They feel balanced and fair-minded about you. This person wants a relationship where both people give equally and nobody keeps score. Their feelings are steady and kind, without drama. If there has been tension, they are open to compromise and want to find a way that works for you both.

Justice and Temperance in career and money

Mediation, negotiation and diplomacy are favored. Contracts and agreements reach balanced terms. Your fair, measured approach is valued in teams, especially during disagreements. Avoid extremes in workload or decisions, and let a steady pace guide your planning. Consistency builds trust faster than brilliance, at work.

Is Justice with Temperance a yes or no?

Justice leans maybe and Temperance leans yes, so the answer is mixed: treat it as a "yes, if" or "not yet" and read the advice below. For a fresh answer to your own question, draw a yes or no card.

What to do when Justice and Temperance turn up

Look for the fair middle ground. Listen to both sides, propose a balanced compromise, and adjust it gradually until everyone feels respected. Small concessions on both sides last longer than one big win.

If Justice or Temperance is reversed

The scales tip. A reversed Justice shows unfairness or bias, and a reversed Temperance shows excess or impatience. The pair points to a compromise that only one side keeps, or a mediation that fails because someone wants to win outright. Name the imbalance plainly, then propose one specific, fair adjustment.
