Upright Meaning:
When it comes to love, the Temperance Tarot card suggests that you are entering a time of learning and growing emotionally and romantically.
If you are in a relationship, Temperance ushers in a new stage of trust, balance, and harmony. If you and your partner have had conflict recently, this card is a sign that this is changing. With Temperance, you can learn how to reconnect and be respectful to one another. Harmony and true love are on the horizon for you both, so listen to each other and work on creating a beautiful partnership.
If you are single, Temperance will suggest that you are in the process of learning about the journey of love. Things might have been difficult for you in the past, with trust issues and unhealthy relationships affecting your love life.
However, Temperance suggests that you are learning about balance and cooperation in regards to love, and therefore healing from your past traumas. You are probably going on this journey alone right now, but the universe will send you love when you are ready. It is time to concentrate on you and your own personal growth!
Reversed Meaning:
If you are in a relationship, a reversed Temperance Tarot card suggests that there is an imbalance in your partnership. This may be something minor now, but if not addressed it will soon cause major conflict in your relationship. Make sure you and your partner are both putting in the same amount of love and energy into the relationship and you are both behaving respectfully towards each other.
The reversed Temperance card is telling you that you must work on your patience and understanding in order to grow with your partner and overcome conflict. You have the tendency to argue with your partner without listening to their point of view, and this is causing major issues in your relationship.
If you are single, the reversed Temperance will pop up in a love reading when you have unhelpful love habits that need to be addressed in order to create a healthy and loving relationship. Perhaps you give too much to people you are dating straight away, or reject potential partners for minor reasons. You may be impatient when it comes to dating, and not allow romances to blossom.
