Temperance Tarot Meaning
Temperance marks the end of the second chapter of the Major Arcana, in which we were learning how to exist and move through a complex external and physical world. We have faced moral dilemmas, questioned our place and where we belong, dealt with heartbreaks and elations, changes and the unfairness that can come with life.
Through it all, we are learning, step by step, how to find balance in a constantly changing world. That’s what Temperance represents. The lesson of balance and understanding how to counterbalance when needed.
Before we embody Temperance, we can often see things in a very black and white way, but after Temperance, we start to fully understand the complexities that are at play, both in the outer world and the inner world.
