Justice
Lady of the Fountain
Cause and effect made visible, without mercy and without malice.
Upright
Weigh it honestly, including the part you would rather not weigh. A decision is due and it should be made on the merits rather than on who you would prefer to be right. What you set in motion will come back at full size.
Reversed
Not used in Raynebow readings - reversals are off in the product. Shown here for reference.
Accountability dodged, or a judgement made on partial information. Fairness demanded of others and not applied to oneself.

The Welsh story
In the tale of Owain, a knight who pours water on a stone by a fountain summons a storm, then the fountain's defender, and must fight him. Owain kills the lord, takes his place and marries his widow Laudine — and then, having promised to return within three months, forgets her and loses everything until he earns his way back. Every act in the tale produces its exact consequence.
