Temperance is the Major Arcana number 14. In traditional decks it is represented by a winged angelic figure, with blond hair and feminine features.
She wears a long dress up to her feet and is represented in pouring water from one pitcher to another, defying all laws of gravity, as it is physically impossible to make water flow from bottom to top, as it is represented. Temperance is a card that invites you to reach your inner balance, learning to flow with life and with events that cannot be controlled. When it comes out straight, it indicates that the consultant has the potential to become more tolerant of his surroundings, to look at situations objectively and to remain imperturbable in adversity.
The Arcanum also invites acceptance of the ideas of others, altruism and the joy of sharing with others, overcoming any form of selfishness. The greatest advice this card gives us is to flow with events. Very often, those who make a spiritual journey find themselves at the mercy of their Guides, of the Universe and of events that, apparently, may seem insurmountable obstacles, they try to overcome using all their strength, to then understand that it was enough to flow with them and face them. without resisting. This card invites to trust and flow, remaining in balance with oneself while the events follow one another that will then lead to a profound growth of the person.
Spread over the money, the Temperance card indicates that one lives in financial tranquility. The person is able to better manage his finances, which allows him to live in a financial comfort zone. The card also advises not to be reckless in investing money. jobs associated with Temperance are those that bring people back into balance such as the Yoga instructor, the Psychotherapist, the Therapist and the Pilates teacher. In broad terms concerning work generically, the card indicates that the consultant carries out a safe job, without risk, but often not very stimulating, precisely because it is a job that guarantees economic security but few stimuli. It can also indicate that the consultant is overworking and therefore should moderate himself, as he is sacrificing other aspects of his life in favor of work.
On the subject of Love, a distinction must be made between a love story that has just begun and a story that has already started for some time. In the case of a new love it indicates that there are the conditions for living a serious and balanced story. If it refers to a love story already in progress, it could indicate that the initial feeling is now leading to routine benevolence and that the story is not very stimulating, as it is devoid of novelty.
Temperance is associated with skin and body weight, so it could indicate eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia, or the consultant’s inability to go on a diet to treat overweight. It can also indicate skin problems such as acne. In general terms on health, the Lama invites you to take better care of your health and to strengthen the immune system through natural remedies or holistic treatments, so that the physical body is not affected by chemical drugs.
