Cool head (not like usual romances where people generally lose their head) - Justice is "all head" because the sword is there being discriminating, analysing, assessing - cutting things open to see what's inside and what a thing is made of). And following that approach to relationship there's not passion or focus on what the heart wants but Weighing up the facts - what is being weighed in the scales? Suitability, longevity - looking forward to a point where you're looking back to see the results, practicalities/materiality. How many divorces have occurred because people were caught up in lust and passion, sexual attraction, completely oblivious to where all of that would lead - no looking forward to the point where you're looking back on the realities? Totally unsuitable - never even talked about practicalities etc.

Hi, @Misterei Your question sent me to my book (the one where I've written all the permutations of a card that I can think of.) I see quite a number of ways that the Justice card could be interpreted in terms of beginning a relationship that does not involve legal dealings. In general, Justice means a careful weighing of the matter. There is the suggestion of impartiality and objectivity being a good idea. When upright, the card usually indicates the end decision will be fair. Folks will get what they deserve. (Reversed may indicate unfairness or a lack of objectivity.) I would say, when it comes to budding romance, the Justice card (upright) would suggest carefully weighing what appears to be on offer. Be impartial and objective about the romantic partner's characteristics, and what they say or do. Stepping back a bit to have a think is probably a good idea, before making a decision. Try to avoid prejudice or bias. Don't be taken in by immediate emotional reactions either. The process of thorough investigation may take a bit of time, but don't feel pressured or rushed.

The Justice card usually makes me think of the word "consequences." Like someone getting their comeuppance. Regarding a potential romance, it could indicate a warning to "be careful what you wish for." I might see it as some kind of situation that will bite you in the butt later, perhaps due to overlooking red flags, such as an abusive or criminal element, dishonesty, or perhaps some cheating going on. But it could also mean that a relationship with this person will be lackluster and boring. Either way, the querent might be setting themselves up for something they'll regret later, and whatever that is will depend on other cards in the spread and/or the energy surrounding the situation. This card calls for letting logic and reason be the guide, rather than allowing emotions and hormones to take over.
