Well, let me tell ya about this here Temperance card in the love tarot, ya know? It ain’t like them fancy city folks talk, all complicated and whatnot. I’ll give it to ya straight, the way I see it.
What’s this Temperance thing all about in love?
Now, some folks get all excited thinkin’ Temperance means you gonna find your soulmate right away. Hold your horses! It ain’t exactly like that. See, Temperance is more about balance, ya hear? Like, not too much of this, not too much of that. It’s about findin’ that sweet spot in your love life.
- If you got yourself a fella or a gal already: It means things are probably pretty good, ya know? You ain’t fightin’ all the time, things are smooth, like a good batch of butter. You’re workin’ together, understandin’ each other. That’s good, real good.
- If you’re lookin’ for love: Don’t go chasin’ after every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Take it easy. Work on yourself, figure out what you want, what you need. It’s like bakin’ a cake, gotta have the right ingredients and the right amount of time, otherwise it’s just a mess.
Temperance ain’t like that Lovers card, the one with all the naked people. That Lovers card, well, that one screams love, right? A real strong connection, two people just meant to be together, fireworks and all that. Temperance is quieter, more like a gentle stream flowin’. It’s about patience, ya know? Like waitin’ for the tomatoes to ripen on the vine. Can’t rush these things.
Think of it like this: you’re makin’ a stew, right? You throw in too much salt, it’s ruined. Too much pepper, same thing. Gotta have just the right amount of everything. That’s Temperance in love. Moderation, they call it. Don’t be too clingy, don’t be too distant. Find that happy medium.
Temperance upright, what does it mean then?
If you pull that Temperance card and it’s standin’ up straight, well, that’s a good sign. It means things are harmonious, balanced. You’re bein’ reasonable, understanding. You’re not flyin’ off the handle at every little thing. You’re takin’ the middle path, not too extreme one way or the other. It’s like walkin’ a tightrope, gotta keep your balance.
Now, some folks, they get all confused. They see Temperance and think, “Oh, this means I gotta be boring, no excitement!” That ain’t it at all. It just means you gotta be smart about things. You can still have fun, still have passion, but you gotta keep it in check, ya know? Like havin’ a good bonfire, gotta keep it from gettin’ outta control and burnin’ the whole place down.
For those lookin’ for romance… like I said before, don’t be desperate. Desperate ain’t never pretty. Work on yourself, love yourself first. Then, when the time is right, the right person will come along. And when they do, remember that balance thing. Don’t smother them, but don’t ignore them either. It’s a dance, ya know? Gotta learn the steps.
Temperance is the 14th big card in the deck, they call it Major Arcana. Don’t you worry about all them fancy names. Just remember it’s about finding that balance. It ain’t flashy, it ain’t dramatic, but it’s strong and steady, like a good oak tree. And a good oak tree, well, that can weather any storm. Same goes for love, ya know? With a little bit of patience, a little bit of understanding, and a whole lot of balance, you can make it through anything.
So, next time you’re thinkin’ about love, remember that old Temperance card. It ain’t gonna give ya all the answers, but it’ll point ya in the right direction. Just keep it balanced, keep it steady, and you’ll be just fine.
