✦ The symbol of the card · Upright ✦

A winged angel pours water from one vessel to the other without spilling a drop. Temperance is the art of the right measure: healing, patience and a harmony slowly regained.

The waters grow calm. What was strained or wounded is gently mending.

✦ What it says about your life ✦

In love
A relationship at peace, a reconciliation, a bond healing softly. Harmony returns when each one takes a step.
At work
Patience, the right measure and collaboration: everything settles back into place gently. Team harmony bears its fruit.
Money
A budget in balance: neither excess nor deprivation, aim for the middle path. Measured management steadies your finances for the long run.
Health & energy
Healing and a return to balance: moderation and serenity. Your body repairs itself when you offer it gentleness.

Measure, blend, harmonise: patience heals.
