Card Meaning

The Twin Eyes of the Scales speaks of the balance of cause and effect, the verdict of truth, and the price of choice. It is the subtlest law in the universe: every choice and every imbalance brings with it a result, and a force, to match.

Justice is not punishment, and it is not reward; it is returning everything to the place where it was always meant to be. When you make a choice, you also choose every consequence that choice brings.
