Okay, so today I decided to dive into the “Temperance” card in my Tarot deck, specifically focusing on how it relates to love. I’ve been feeling a bit all over the place in my relationships lately, so I figured, why not see what the cards have to say?
First, I grabbed my trusty deck and shuffled it while thinking about my current love life situation. You know, just kind of setting the intention and asking for some guidance. I’m not a pro at this, but I find it’s a nice way to get some clarity sometimes.
My Reading Process
I laid out the cards in a simple three-card spread: past, present, and future. And guess what? Temperance popped up in the present position. I took a deep breath and really looked at the card.
- Inoticed The angel, the water pouring between the cups and get that it’s all about balance, right?
- I felt the card is about finding that sweet spot between extremes.
I then spent some time journaling about what “balance” means to me in the context of love. I realized I’ve been swinging between being overly needy and then pushing people away. Classic, huh? It’s like, I either want all the attention or I go completely cold. Not exactly a recipe for a healthy relationship.
So, I started brainstorming some practical ways to bring more Temperance into my love life. I decided.
- First: I need to check that keep my own life full.
- Second: Work on my communication.
It’s not going to be an overnight fix, I know that. But just having this awareness, thanks to a little cardboard rectangle, feels like a good first step. I even pulled another card for advice on how to cultivate more Temperance, and I got the “Two of Cups.” Which, to me, feels like a reminder to focus on building genuine connections and partnerships, rather than getting caught up in my own head.
Gonna keep working at it! Baby steps, right?
