However,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the card that really seems to catch the attention of people is the temperance<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0tarot card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to tarot professionals,<strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the temperance is one of the most significant cards you can receive<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in a reading. But what truly makes it so powerful? In this piece,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">we&#8217;re going to over the upright and reversed meaning<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> of this card and what it can actually tell you in a reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Temperance Tarot Card Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To start, the temperance tarot card is a powerful addition to the Major Arcana deck. In a reading, it&#8217;s meaning can fluctuate, however,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">it seems to always point back to a need for grounding and balance.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Although\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">this card typically indicates self-care, the reversed meaning may signify something more.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0But before we dive into that, let&#8217;s analyze the art of the card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Temperance Tarot Card Art<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While each deck depicts the temperance card differently,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the art typically shows a few key characteristics<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. This usually includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A winged angel dressed in white, both with masculine and feminine traits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The angel has one foot in water and one foot on land.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The angel is pouring water from one cup to another.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is a stream that runs far into the background.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the sky behind the angel, their rests a golden crown.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, upon first glance,<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0this card may seem a bit random.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0However, if you analyze it&#8217;s art a little further, you may find a deeper meaning. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The angel could represent both man and woman.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The one foot on land could represent grounding energy, while the other can represent emotion and flow.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The water that is poured between two cups could symbolize the flow of life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The stream that vanishes into the background could represent that path of life into the unknown.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And lastly, the crown could symbolize purity or higher purpose in life.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of course, as always,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the meaning of the card is always up to the interpreter<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, so it is important to see how the card connects with your personally and go from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Temperance Upright Meaning<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moving onto the temperance card meaning, <strong>w<\/strong><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">hen you receive the card upright in a reading, it typically means you&#8217;re in need of balance and stability.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0You are being asked to work on yourself as the time has come for you to align yourself back to you purpose.\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This card warns that you may have strayed from you path<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, but now the universe has aligned for you to get back to yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the other hand, <strong>t<\/strong><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">he temperance card also aspires to teach you to be calm.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Do not let anger or stressful situations get the best of you anymore. Rather, take a moment to gather yourself before you act rashly. More so than anything,\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">being the peacekeeper and observer is the best thing for you now<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, so it&#8217;s time to calm down.
