In a Reading

The Angel appears to let us know that we are protected and urges us to moderate ourselves. He enters the scene as the revelation of the need for a time of healing or reconciliation. Temperance alludes to the middle path in the Buddhist sense, urging us to settle inner struggles, to become one with ourselves, to start from the middle place when dealing with life’s problems. He reveals himself to performers, musicians, those who may live in conflict with their private and pubic lives. He appeals to those who are having difficulties with drug and alcohol abuse. Temperance may likewise refer to a conflict of spirituality vs sexual desire in one’s self or in an existing relationship.

“The work of Temperance does not consist of cutting but of adding a value that moderates the passions that cause us harm: trust to jealousy, sobriety to greed.” – Alejandro Jodorowsy, “The Way of Tarot, the Spiritual Teacher in the Cards”
