Major Arcana
Temperance
“Balance, patience, and the blending of opposites into a harmonious whole.”
Upright
Temperance is about skillfully blending opposites: not extremes, but finding the middle ground. It's a slow, patient process that produces a result built to last.
Reversed
Reversed, Temperance means losing your balance: something — work, emotions, habits — has tipped into an extreme, and needs a conscious return to balance.
In love
Finding the middle ground between your own needs and your partner's — without swinging to either extreme.
In career
A slow, consistent approach will get you further than sudden bursts.

Advice
Don't rush and don't swing to extremes. Harmony builds gradually.
