Temperance Tarot Card Meanings and Combinations
XIV Temperance Correspondences:
Astrology: Sagittarius Element: Fire Keywords & phrases: Moderation and balance. Healing. Temperance Tarot Card Meanings The Temperance angel carefully blends the contents of two opposite elements, fire and water, and integrates energy from opposing forces. In the dictionary, temperance means moderation and this card often encourages finding a happy medium from a reasonable and balanced position to find neutral ground. Although the esoteric correspondences place this card under the element of fire, I tend to find this is one of the slower moving cards, particularly in relation to the meaning of a need for patience. If you’re in a hurry for something to happen and Temperance comes up in your reading then you may have to wait because it will take time. Temperance is calm, unhurried, diplomatic and gentle, showing moderation in all things. It can indicate healing found through integrating balance, both on a personal and interpersonal level, so if there have been difficulties then Temperance can suggest an element of renewal. This is a lovely card for relationships, indicating emotional balance with a closely shared bond. If reversed we usually find a lack of harmony, people in opposition or not working together if not openly hostile, lack of tolerance or patience, going off at the deep end.
