  • Harmony
General
The right blend. Temperance mixes opposites with patience and finds the proper measure in all things.
Love & relationships
A peaceful relationship where each adapts to the other. Mutual understanding grows.
Career & money
Cooperation and diplomacy. Measured management that builds over time. A balanced budget.

Seek the middle, not the extreme. One step at a time, without rushing.

Reversed

  • Excess
  • Imbalance
  • Impatience
  • Conflict
General
Measure is lost. Too much or too little, too fast or too late: harmony breaks.
Love & relationships
Tension from a lack of compromise. One of the two takes everything for themselves.
Career & money
Grinding collaborations, unbalanced management. Watch out for excessive spending.
Advice
Identify what's overflowing and bring it back to its proper place. Breathe before reacting.
