Temperance

Meaning:

• Upright – Harmony, patience, blending energies, integration, spiritual flow.

• Reversed – Imbalance, excess, discord, resisting the natural rhythm.

Bonnie perches serenely on the alien’s shoulder, her sulphur crest soft against the glow of distant planets. She watches as the alien carefully pours water between two cups, a stream that never breaks, shimmering with starlight. Around them, crystalline waters ripple with reflected galaxies, and towers of an alien city rising in the background. 

In this card, Bonnie reminds us that balance is not found in extremes, but in the gentle blending of opposites. Just as the alien mixes the waters of earth and sky, she urges us to unite intuition with reason, spirit with body, patience with action. Temperance is the art of flow, a dance of moderation, where nothing is rushed, and nothing is forced.
