Strive for Balance
Balance: hard to achieve, but worth striving for. A witch in a black hat, black tunic, and striped leggings stands in the tree pose, with one eye open and the other closed. Around her is a small amount of free space, and behind her is a table. On one side of the table, there's a rack with cakes, a martini glass, and an open laptop, on the other side a plate with carrots, a simple glass with water and a lemon wedge, and a book. A little black kitten licks icing that fell from one of the cakes. The mood of the Arcanum is carefree but perfectly balanced.
Achieving Harmony
How do you achieve harmony in life? The witch from this card might say, "Moderation in everything, including moderation," and smile serenely, as she has achieved what seems impossible for many of us. However, this doesn't mean one shouldn't try. Aiming for perfect harmony is an endless task that requires discipline, tranquility, and the ability to flow while staying rooted and calm. No one said it would be easy, right?
Ponder This
Have you ever tried the tree pose? For most of us, standing in it for a few seconds is already an achievement. To avoid swaying and falling, it's important to stand firmly on the ground, be present in one's body, remain calm and collected, and not overdo it. If Temperance appears in a reading, it may remind you to take a deep breath and remember your inner strength. Does your life seem out of control? It might be time to think about moderation and peace in every aspect of your life: work and leisure, time for others and time for yourself, effort and rest, pleasure and asceticism. Try to go with the flow... and occasionally reward yourself with a cake.
