Temperance

Temperance
represents harmony and balance, moderation and self-control. Temperance
can represent a need for moderation, especially when extreme cards
are present (such as the Knights). In a situation with conflict,
Temperance suggests that finding a middle-ground may be the answer.
Moderation in all things.
It is also
about coming to appreciate of what we are and what we have learned.
This card
usually shows a woman or angel with one foot in the water and one
on the earth. This represents a link between the consciousness and
unconscious, the spiritual and mundane.
Fun fact:
The word Temperance comes form the Latin word temperare which means
to mix or combine properly.
Reversed
- Too introspective. Stuck in the past. Living an unbalanced lifestyle.
Rigidity stifles the imagination. Discord. Conflict of interest.
