 The yellow iris is a symbol of passion and depth of feeling.  Perhaps this clarifies the deeper meaning of Temperance.  How can we have harmony, balance and well being without the burning passion or desire for synchronicity? 

 

Temperance is a well studies card, with a barrage of meaning and interpretations linking it to Greek mythology and even Jesus Christ.  It’s a complicated card at best but Arthur Edward Waite said it best in the Pictorial Key to the Tarot.  “… It is called Temperance fantastically, because, when the rule of it obtains in our consciousness, it tempers, combines and harmonizes the psychic and material natures…”

 

When you look at this version of Temperance use it as a pause…a pause to clear your mind and renew your thoughts…a pause to reflect on your mood, attitude – what is your true disposition?
