Upright Meaning:
When it comes to getting ahead in your career, now is the time for patience. You know where you are wanting to be and you know how to get there, so don’t rush things and trust yourself! You are a dedicated hard worker with so much to offer and things will go your way when you put in the right amount of energy.
There might be conflict in your workplace at the moment, with emotions between coworkers running high. Temperance is reminding you to not take sides and to be diplomatic in this situation. You have the knowledge and understanding to solve these conflicts within your workplace, and you will achieve great things with your calming and cooperative manner.
In regards to money, Temperance is a reminder that you need to pay attention to what you are spending. It is nothing to worry about, and you are normally pretty good at this! However, the universe just wants to let you know that you need to be extra careful right now.
Reversed Meaning:
When Temperance is reversed in a career reading, it suggests that you are either overworked or not putting in enough effort in order to get ahead in your career. You probably know what the problem is, and the Tarot is telling you that you must address this before it gets out of hand!
Being work-driven is an amazing trait, but too much work can really start to affect your well-being. In order to be successful, you must find a balance between work and fun as both really matter in life! You may think that putting all your energy into your career will make you successful, but this will soon lead to burnout. Your well-being is really important, so take time away from work to treat yourself.
If you are slacking off at work, the universe is telling you that you must start putting in the effort now, or you are at risk of losing your job! If you do not do your fair share of work, you will find yourself having issues with your coworkers and bosses.
When it comes to finances, a reversed Temperance Tarot card is asking you to take a look at your attitude towards money. You may be spending a little too much recently, or hoarding your money away in an unhealthy manner. Spending money is all about moderation and balance, so make sure you are looking after your finances! You should also never feel guilty about treating yourself every once in a while, whilst making sure that you have money saved for rainy days.
