Temperance – The Sacred Art of Patience

Temperance, numbered XIV in the Major Arcana, is the alchemical card of balance, integration, and divine timing. She appears when we are being asked to do the impossible: to wait, to trust, and to find harmony in what feels like contradiction. Her energy is not one of stagnation but of sacred synthesis. She teaches us that true transformation is not explosive—it is gentle, incremental, and born through presence.
