When it is flowing

You have a strong sense of what is fair and a gift for gently nudging things back into balance. You can steer people toward what is right without forcing them, and your instinct for justice makes you someone others trust to weigh a hard situation honestly.

When it is strained

The scales never settle. You can weigh a decision so long it never gets made, or push so hard for fairness that you turn harsh about it. The gentle prompt that should guide starts to jab, and all that reaching for balance leaves you feeling permanently off-balance yourself.
