Temperance
Mixing opposites without violence to them. Not compromise, but synthesis. Time flows slowly, but it's the only speed at which something real is born.
Impatience that breaks everything. Trying to rush a process that requires ripening. Or the opposite—endless slowness disguised as 'wisdom.'
Alchemy of the impossible. An angel pours water from cup to cup—and it doesn't spill. Patience as the art of finding balance between fire and ice.
How to Read This Card
Tarot cards are mirrors of your inner world. The meanings above are traditional interpretations, but remember:
- •Context matters — the same card can mean different things in different situations
- •Trust your intuition — if a card speaks to you differently, listen
- •Reversed doesn't mean bad — it often shows internal processes or blocked energy
- •Cards show possibilities, not fate — you always have the power to choose
