Temperance, XIV

Throughout your life, you'll be engaged in many roles, and balancing aspects of your personality as you play these roles, and becoming a whole person is the idea behind the Tarot Temperance card. However, it's not just about focusing on the parts you love about yourself. It's about facing aspects you don't care for (the alcoholic, over-eater, gambler, drug addict, sexaholic, shopaholic) and becoming moderate in all things. The best help for this is to realize that good can come from evil by allowing God's will to become your own. Additionally, in later card versions, the image of the Archangel Michael (an angel of protection) has been included.
