Temperance
Temperance symbolizes balance, harmony, and the blending of diverse elements into a unified whole. It suggests that success and tranquility arise from avoiding extremes and finding the middle point where things coexist in harmony. The card advises focusing on areas of life that are lacking and restoring equilibrium by either adding or subtracting as needed. By tempering excess and nourishing deficiencies, formerly impossible dreams become attainable through measured, harmonious action.

Meaning
What is this lovely elixir before you, so perfectly balanced it could only be created by the angels? Every component blends together in perfect harmony, and the tranquility that spreads through your body makes you feel as if success in all aspects of your life is possible. Even dreams once thought an impossibility feel within your grasp. This is a drink that is more than the sum of its parts, and the removal of even one ingredient would make it a foul concoction completely unpleasant to consume. This drink is all about balance. It's not about the extremes on either end: it's about finding the middle point where all things are in harmony. If one part of life is in excess it means that other parts are lacking. Focus on those parts of your life where there are deficiencies. A solution can be found by adding something just as often as by subtracting something.
