Temperance Tarot Card Description
Temperance is represented by a large, winged angel who is both masculine and feminine. She is dressed in a light blue robe with a triangle enclosed in a square on the front, symbolizing how humans (the triangle) are bound by the Earth and natural law (square).
The angel balances one foot on the rocks, representing the need to be grounded, and one foot in the water, representing the need to flow. She splits water between two cups, representing the flow and alchemy of life.
A winding path leads up to a mountain range in the background, reflecting life's journey. A golden crown encased in a glowing light floats above the mountains, a symbol of following the Higher path and remaining true to one's life purpose and meaning.

Upright Temperance Meaning
Temperance is the card for bringing balance, patience, and moderation into your life. You are being asked to balance your energy and allow the life force to flow through you without resistance. It's time to regain your flow and restore order and balance to your life.
This card encourages you to stay calm even when things are stressful or frantic. Maintain a level temperament and control your emotions. You have learned to remain calm in stressful situations. Little things don't bother you, thanks to your seemingly endless supply of patience. Your appreciation for balance and tranquility is what will enable you to achieve and experience fulfillment in your life.
Temperance requires you to walk the middle path and consider all points of view. Now is not the time to express strong feelings or engage in heated debate. Be the peacekeeper by maintaining a balanced and moderate approach and avoiding extremes. Include others and bring diverse groups of people together to foster harmony and cooperation. You will collectively leverage the right mix of talents, experiences, abilities, and skills by working together.
There is alchemy within Temperance. This Tarot card is about blending, mixing, and combining disparate elements to create something new and more valuable than the sum of its parts. A blended family, an artist who combines different materials or techniques, a bartender who creates new and exciting cocktails, or a chef who combines different cuisines and cooking styles are all examples of blending.
The Temperance card indicates that you have a clear, long-term goal in mind. You are not rushing things; rather, you are taking your time to ensure that you do your best. You understand that to achieve your objectives, you must take a measured and guided approach.
Finally, this card reflects higher learning. You're starting to learn a lot right now and are satisfied with what you're doing - it's all coming together nicely. Your inner voice is directing you in the right direction, and you are patiently listening and following.
Reversed Temperance Meaning
If you have recently experienced a period of excess, Temperance Reversed is an invitation (or, in some cases, a warning signal) to return to balance and moderation as soon as possible. You may have been overeating, drinking regularly, purchasing items you couldn't afford, arguing with loved ones, or engaging in negative thought patterns. These activities are distracting you from who you are and what you are here to do.
So it's time to call it a day. "Everything in moderation!" they say. Alternatively, you may discover that you require complete abstinence to break this negative cycle and restore balance to your life.
Temperance Reversed can also indicate that something is 'wrong' in your life, causing stress and tension. Life isn't going as smoothly as you'd hoped, or there's a nagging voice within saying, "Wait a second! This isn't feeling right!" You can ignore it and go about your business as usual.
But heed Temperance's warning: if you remain in this state for too long, that voice will become increasingly louder until you pay attention. Alternatively, you can listen to it now and make the necessary adjustments to re-establish your flow. Concentrate on your long-term vision and higher purpose, and strive to align your daily activities with it.
Similarly, the Temperance Reversed can be interpreted as a call to deep self-healing. You can facilitate such healing by practicing more balance and moderation in your life. Given the reversal of this card, you are doing it in a way that is personal and private to you, free of outside influence. You're aware that you have everything you need to heal yourself and create more 'flow' in your life.
Also, Temperance Reversed may represent a period of self-evaluation during which you can reconsider your life priorities. Internally, you may feel called in one direction, but your daily life may not reflect this. Consider this an opportunity to connect your higher vibration to your outer world.
You may need to make changes to your living situation, relationships, career, and daily habits to cultivate more balance and purpose following your new priorities. Don't be surprised if you experience tension or even conflict as you align your inner and outer worlds; it's a normal part of the process of progressing and bringing about positive change.

The Chariot Tarot Card Description
The Chariot Tarot card depicts a valiant warrior riding in a chariot. He is dressed in armor adorned with crescent moons, which stand for what is creating itself, a tunic with a square (representing willpower), and other alchemical symbols (spiritual transformation). The laurel and star crown denotes triumph, achievement, and spiritual advancement. Despite having the appearance of being the driver, the charioteer only has a wand similar to The Magician, signifying that he has complete control over the vehicle through the power of his will and mind.
The charioteer is perfectly straight; he doesn't believe in sitting down because he is all about acting and going forward. A canopy of six-pointed stars can be seen above him, indicating his ties to the celestial realm and the Divine will. A black and white sphinx, which stands for duality, positive and negative, and occasionally opposing forces, is placed in front of the car. The charioteer uses the sheer force of will and determination to steer the chariot in the desired direction despite the sphinxes pulling in opposite directions.
A broad river flows behind the chariot, signifying the need to advance toward your objectives and intentions while also being "in the flow" with life's rhythm.

Upright Chariot Meaning
The Chariot is a card of strength, will, and determination. With the help of The Lovers card, you have learned how to make choices that are consistent with your values, and you are now acting on those choices. The Chariot is a sign of encouragement when it appears in a Tarot reading. You have set your goals and are working tirelessly to achieve them by drawing on your inner strength. You will be successful if you use discipline, commitment, and willpower to accomplish your goals.
You shouldn't sit back and wait for things to go your way at this point. Regardless of any obstacles that may arise—and trust me, there will be obstacles—take focused action and stay the course. Your resolve and strength may be put to the test as you feel conflicting pressures. Others may try to obstruct you, divert your attention, or slow down the pursuit of your objective. The Chariot, however, is a call to use your willpower and focus on what's most important to you to overcome the barriers in your path.
If you're wondering if you have what it takes to achieve your goal or finish a major project, The Chariot is a sign that you will be successful as long as you stay focused and confident in your abilities. You must exercise self-control and willpower to focus on the task at hand. Cutting corners or choosing a simple path will lead to failure. Instead, consider this endeavor a test of your resolve and fortitude, and remember that success is possible if you persevere.
The Chariot calls you to take charge and show courage. You will not get your way unless you are bold in setting your boundaries and expressing your desires. You must believe in yourself and have a solid understanding of your identity and values (thus building off the personal belief systems and values established through The Lovers card).
The Chariot can, in a very literal sense, stand in for travel, particularly driving or going on a road trip. You might even be thinking about relocating by selling your house and getting an RV!
Reversed Chariot Meaning
When The Chariot is upright, it's time to press ahead with a major undertaking and get past any roadblocks that might stand in the way of your goals. Reversed, however, The Chariot instructs you to "back up the truck" or, as we Aussies say, "Chuck a U-y" (also known as "do a U-turn"). When you try to push a project forward when you should back off or change course, you might feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall. Another possibility is that you've lost your drive and are no longer as dedicated to the result as you were when you first started. Therefore, reassess the situation and check in to see if it's an indication that you need to change course if something is not progressing as you had anticipated.
At times, The Chariot Reversed is a warning that you are allowing obstacles and challenges to get in your way, preventing you from accomplishing what you set out to do. You lack the will to continue because everything is becoming too difficult. If that strikes a chord with you, take a moment to reflect on the things that are most important to you and the reasons why you want to accomplish this. Will you let other people's viewpoints influence you or give up as soon as things get difficult? Or are you going to follow through on your promise?
The Chariot Reversed may be a sign that you are devoting your time and effort to internal processes like self-control, inner resolve, and personal commitment before taking any action. You might focus on the goals that are in line with your higher self. Alternatively, you can use meditation and visualization to make sure your energy is in line with your objectives. These inward-directed actions are crucial to ensure that you are prepared to act when the time comes.
If you like to be in control of your destiny and have a plan for where you are going, seize this chance to tighten the reins and practice greater discipline. The key is to consider what you can control and what you cannot, even though feeling like you have lost control can be very demoralizing. Avoid worrying about things that are beyond your control because you cannot change them right now. Instead, concentrate your efforts on the things that you CAN control.
Consider your options for improving the situation.
Similarly, The Chariot Reversed makes the case that you might be trying to control every small aspect of your life, but in doing so, you end up feeling even more out of control. Release your hold and allow events to unfold naturally. Be receptive to offers of assistance and then express gratitude for what you get, even if it falls short of your expectations. You're not always required to be behind the wheel!
