When people are untrue to themselves and are disconnected from their spiritual purpose it typically exhibits in imbalance and unfairness in one aspect of their lives or another.
Temperance often shows up when people can’t control their base desires and are unable moderate in matters of eating, drinking, drug use, and sex.
Sometimes we squander our lives away when we lack clarity of what we truly want from life and other times our prodigal ways are the reason we never can quite figure it out.
If we are unwilling to delay gratification in order to come to grips with what we want from life we will likely remain ill at ease until we finally do.
When we feel that we are putting in effort and not making progress or being noticed, this card asks us to keep our eyes on what matters and keep going. When we do the right thing for us and us alone, we aren’t so easily knocked off course by those who don’t share our values or see things the way we do.

Love / Relationships <3
When reversed Temperance often indicates partners who are unaware or unconcerned about the effects of their choices to their significant others.
A lack of Temperance can look very different in every relationship. Are you working too much or perhaps your partner is doing all the work. Is there an excess of spending, gambling, drinking, or drugs influencing your relationship? Is your partner not allowing you to spend time with your friends or are you spending too much time with them? If you allow this lopsidedness to continue it is only a matter of time before the whole edifice topples.
When you are single Temperance reversed is a warning against moving too fast or giving too much of yourself. Let things happen.
