Synopsis
Mixing and blending of opposites; compromise
and cooperation. General
Description
The meaning of the Temperance card
is easier to understand if we call it "Moderation." It personifies
the healthy opposite of the next card in the Tarot game -
the Devil (XV), which stands for immoderation. Harmony, balance,
composure, and peace of mind are the elements that characterize
Temperance. This card, then, portrays the joyous experience
of being healthy and inwardly balanced, liking and treating
ourselves well. This results in our coming into harmony with
our surroundings. Connected with the corresponding questions,
this card stands for healing and recovery.
