Temperance Meaning

Prompt:

Do you need to dial back your behavior in some area...psst...over-liker over here!

Live the Tarot:

Pick one area of your life and try to exercise a bit of moderation. For example, cut back on the Starbucks, and see if maybe your bank account thanks you.

Artist’s Notes

I chose a blue-haired angel for my Temperance in a peach cupcake ball gown pouring water from a red coffee pot into a red coffee cup painted with a square (representing natural law) encircling a triangle (humanity). The act of pouring the water of life resonates with those of us who want to stay in the flow and the mountains behind the angel are part of the landscape of the life journey.
Traditionally, this card represents moderation, self-restraint, self-control, balance and self-discipline. Reversed, this card represents over-indulgence, excess, extremism, immoderation.

LOVE: If you’re in a relationship this card is a sign of similar shared values and if you’re single this card represents taking matters as they come and not putting too much pressure on yourself to “make it happen” in a quick way.

MONEY: Avoid excessive spending to remain in financial balance for a more easy-going tomorrow.

HEALTH: It would serve your well-being to balance your health, as an example, by exercising and eating in moderation.

CAREER: You need to act with self-restraint and not allow your emotions to drive your behavior.
