Temperance

Major Arcana — Card 14

Upright Meaning

Temperance is the card of divine alchemy — the patient blending of opposites into harmonious balance. An angel pours water between two cups, flowing effortlessly between the finite and infinite. This card calls you to practice moderation, patience, and purposeful integration of different aspects of your life.

Reversed Meaning

Reversed, Temperance points to imbalance, excess, and inner turmoil. You may be overindulging in one area while neglecting another, or forcing outcomes that require a more patient, gentle approach. Slow down and restore equilibrium.
