A winged angel in white stands with one foot in a pool and one on land, pouring water between two cups; a path leads to a crown of light in the hills.

Major Arcana · XIV

Temperance

balance · moderation · blending

Mix things in the right measure. Patience and the middle path heal what extremes could not.

Love
Harmony, compromise and steady affection.
Work and money
Balance budgets, combine skills, and avoid excess.
Reversed
Excess or imbalance. Something needs to be dialled down so the rest can flow.

Tarot is a mirror for reflection, not a forecast. For timing in marriage or career, your kundli says far more.
