Meaning:

You are in the right place at the right time and everything you do feels seamless and elegant. You feel magical and tapped in. Temperance is a card of perfect, graceful balance. Balance is not always equal measures of something; it is much subtler than that. It is a state of self-control through moderation. Sometimes the stars align and you achieve this extraordinary flow seemingly by accident. More often, it is because you paid attention to circumstances, your environment, yourself, and your goals. This is how you know when to adjust to accommodate changes in circumstance, environment, yourself, or your goals. If you can move through the world maintaining this state, you will always act with confidence.

Advice:

Temperance advises you to do what you need in order to flow with the universe, like the lemniscate she is creating in the image. Make sure you are firmly grounded, emotionally and physically, as symbolized by her shoes with water and earth symbols on them. Her gold and silver cups suggest that you combine appropriate measures of reason and intuition. The red triangle reminds you to make sure your will is strong. Be clear about and follow your highest ideals that guide you like the sun symbol on her hat. As if that wasn’t enough, do all this without striving but always from a place of peace, like the woman in the image. This sets the stage ofr an alchemical process that transmutes lead into gold and elevates you toward your best self.
