The traditional Rider Waite depiction of the Temperance card features an angel with wings surrounded by an abundant landscape of thriving plants with flowers, water, hills, and a bright sun peaking over the mountains. The angel is wearing a white robe with a triangle inside a square embroidered on its chest. The figure is pouring liquid from one chalice into the other, creating alchemy between the elements. The angel has one foot on the ground and one foot in the water. The pouring of liquid suggests the need for moderation and balance in one’s life. The background may include a landscape with a path leading to mountains or a sunrise, emphasizing the journey and the transformative nature of the card. The windy road in the background leading to the sun represents taking the higher road in life, and reaching one’s higher purpose. The Temperance card may suggest the need for moderation, compromise, and finding a middle ground in order to achieve inner peace and balance in various aspects of life.
In the Mystic Monday’s Tarot deck, the Temperance card is depicted as a blue see-saw balancing one heavy ball versus 4 smaller balls, balancing the weight between the two. This indicates that the moderation, compromise, and harmony between finding the right elements to maintain balance and that it can constantly fluctuate depending on what is going on in your life at the time.

General Temperance Card Upright Meaning
Balance is the center in your palace! Instead of rushing to make your goals happen, you’re tactfully building the foundation step-by-step. You value synergy and are choosing situations that are free from anxiety and stress. You’ve realized that patience and moderation are key in moving forward, and that you would rather put in the time to ensure quality. No matter what drama is going on around you, you are taking the high road because you’ve realized that you cannot control external circumstances. However, you can control how you react to them. This is a time of great synergy, when things are falling into place because of the harmonious balance that you’ve created for yourself. You have a new awareness between your inner and outer selves to fuel your creativity, feeling satisfied in the process.

General Temperance Reversed Meaning
Life feels off balance, leading you to have anxiety and stress. Prioritize activities so that you can experience more joy on a daily basis. Manage the activities that you don’t enjoy by releasing obligations or asking for help. You don’t have to do it all by yourself! Make way for clarity and feed your soul with nourishing love. Organize your long-term goals and take action by scheduling the smaller steps into your calendar. Incremental movements will get you closer to the finish line than no movement at all. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the big picture, and frustrated when your goals do not happen immediately, but great things often take time. So have patience, put in the work, and remember to schedule plenty of self-care. Build the foundation for freedom and flow.
