Temperance Tarot Year Card (14): Meaning and Birthdays

A year of Temperance

Temperance holds a year of mixing and mending after change. The angel pours water between two cups, and the year tends to ask for the same kind of patient adjustment: work and rest, old and new, two people's needs. It is often a year of recovery and quiet repair.

What the year asks

It asks you to find the middle way and keep adjusting it, and to be patient with slow results. The shadow is moderation as a way of never committing to anything.

Sitting with it

Notice where your life runs to extremes. Try small daily adjustments instead of big resolutions, and keep track of what helps.

Questions for the year

What two parts of my life need to be blended, not traded?
Where would a slower pace heal something?
Am I being moderate, or just avoiding a choice?
