The imagery: A figure in red sits between two pillars, holding a raised double-edged sword in one hand and balanced scales in the other. A small white shoe peeks out from beneath the robe.
Upright

Reversed
Reversed, something may feel unfair, or someone may be avoiding accountability. It can also point to judging yourself too harshly or too lightly. Look at the facts as objectively as you can.
In love
