Major Arcana XIV

Temperance

Alchemy, balance, and spiritual healing

Seek the middle path. Strength is found in moderation and the patient integration of opposing forces.

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.
