What Does The Temperance Card Mean In Tarot?

Posted by Valentine Belue on Friday, May 3, 2024

Regardless of the deck that your reading utilizes, the Temperance card depicts someone — often an angel — with both masculine and feminine energy balancing one foot on land and one in the water, per Biddy Tarot. The foot on the ground calls for balance, while the foot in the water urges you to go with the flow. Additionally, there is usually water being poured from one cup to another, representing the symbolic flow of life. Behind the central figure, there is often a winding road going through the a mountain range that represents your own journey through life. Sunshine on the mountains represents staying on the Higher path and being true to your life's purpose.

Like all cards, Temperance has different meanings when upright or inverted. When upright, it represents balance, moderation, patience, and purpose. However, when the card is reversed, it brings your attention to imbalance and excess in your life; calling for self-healing and re-alignment. Whether you're getting Temperance in a love, health, professional, or general reading, its meaning remains primarily the same. Patience is key to getting what you want and fulfilling your purpose in the given situation, per The Tarot Guide. Temperance in a love reading is one of the best cards that you can get, letting you know that with patience and faith everything will work out. 

All in all, the Temperance card brings good news and awareness to your need to rest in a situation and all will work out.
