Major Arcana XIV
Temperance
Alchemy, balance, and spiritual healing
Water flows between cups without a single drop lost. This is the art of alchemy: blending opposites to create a unified whole. True power lies in balance, not force.
Introduction
Temperance is the card of spiritual alchemy. It is not just about moderation, but about the magical blending of fire and water, action and patience.
Standing between Death and The Devil, this angel brings healing. It teaches that nothing good is built in haste. By finding the middle path, you integrate the fragmented parts of yourself into a stronger whole.
Love and relationships
A relationship of equals. Harmony, patience, and mutual respect. Soulmates blending their lives together seamlessly. Conflicts are resolved through understanding.
Career and work
Steady progress. Collaboration and a balanced approach. It is not the time for radical risks, but for sustainable growth and diplomacy.
Money and finances
Financial stability through balanced spending. Managing resources wisely. Avoid impulse buys and play the long game.
Spiritual path
Inner peace. The integration of shadow and light. Healing practices like yoga, meditation, or reiki help restore flow.
Conclusion
Temperance reminds you that the middle way is the strongest way. Healing comes not from force, but from consistent, gentle flow. Be the alchemist of your own life.
I bring my life into balance. I heal through patience and harmony.
