Temperance
Major Arcana · XIV · balance · patience · blending
Upright meaning
Temperance mixes two things into something neither could be alone. Moderation, patience, the slow correct proportion. It counsels the middle path and rewards those willing to take time getting the mixture right.
Temperance reversed
Excess in one direction, or two elements that will not combine no matter how long you stir. Impatience with a process that has its own pace.
In love
Compromise that works, or the gradual blending of two lives. Favours relationships built slowly over intensity that burns out.
In career and money
Cooperation across differences, or finding the sustainable pace. Against extremes in either effort or expectation.
