Temperance

Temperance encourages balance, moderation and patience. This card invites you to find harmony in all aspects of life. It is a reminder that peace comes from the blending of opposites with mindfulness and care.

To be temperate means to show moderation, self-restraint, and to take the middle path in a situation rather than react in rash ways. Reach a compromise within yourself and find the middle ground to establish your new footing.

Try to go with flow right now. Trust that divine timing is at play in your life and that you are right where you need to be. If you don't see progress right away, remember that integration could be taking place. The first signs of growth often happen beneath the surface, just like a plant growing roots before it breaks through the soil.


You might have a lot on your plate at this time. Whether you're juggling work and rest or emotions and logic, this card encourages harmony and the integration of both sides of the scale to achieve inner peace. Remember to avoid taking extreme actions right now and take the path of least resistance.

Harness both your emotional and intellectual qualities to define what your personal inner peace feels like. Just like the angel, depicted in many decks pouring water between two cups, you are being asked to blend opposing forces in your life.

It's time to reestablish your balance so that your life can begin to flow with ease again. This might mean finding harmony between your emotional side and your practical side or finding peace in conflicting desires. By doing so you will create an inner sense of calm that helps align you with the natural rhythms of life.

Harmony is possible when you take time to moderate the material and spiritual aspects of life. Compromise and cooperation are vital for you right now. Trust in the process and allow things to flow naturally, knowing that true harmony takes time and care to cultivate.


Temperance symbolizes the path of spiritual ascent and alchemy. We learn this dance of balance by mixing or tempering solutions from the past, trusting in the future and finding emotional harmony within. Through this process, we create something new, refined and more aligned with our true selves.

With the right mixture of self-restraint, moderation and willpower, you will have the ability to live and work in harmony, opening you to a great flow of abundance and success. Trust that peace comes when you're able to meet life's challenges with patience and grace.
