Deck description
An angel is pouring the water representing soul and life from one holy grail to another. Some people say that the water in the Holy Grail of the right hand represents consciousness, while the water in the left hand represents unconsciousness. Others say that they represent material and spirit respectively. However, at least we can see an interaction in the card chart. No matter where the water comes from or goes, the water is flowing. Isn't activity just a kind of reconciliation and purification? The angel stood with one foot in the water and the other on the shore. According to the western culture, water represents the inner spiritual world, while the land represents the external material world. So the angel standing like this just indicates that everyone is wandering in the material and spiritual worlds. Taking the foot in the water as the reality, and the shore and the ground as the emptiness, it is just the theme, suggesting that people control their desires and purify their hearts.
The wings of an angel represent her ability to achieve balance. The golden milli light on the head represents wisdom, which is far away from the shining golden sun on the distant mountains. The water and flowers beside me symbolize temptation. Abstinence embodies self-restraint and forbearance. In a world full of temptation and laissez faire, how necessary it is to find self balance. It's wise, but it's a bit boring. The energy of temperance may not seem passionate on the surface, but it is calm in a hurricane. There are swirling winds everywhere, but the center is a quiet point where everything is in balance. This is an encouraging force of unity. Such a person exudes quiet strength. In peace and calm, you have achieved success unconsciously.
“ Abstinence ” The name of this card itself is a keyword, so theoretically it should be easy to understand. But the problem is “ Abstinence ” This keyword is too macro. In reality, it is right, but often not right. Therefore, it will bring a lot of trouble. In fact, for this card, grasping the feeling is the most important. What does abstinence feel like? You can imagine a milky white, two palm sized, slightly soft but still hard, square rubber block with round edges. Imagine what it would feel like, what it would look like if it fell to the ground, and what it would look like if it was placed there? Abstinence feels like that.
In Tarot “ Abstinence ” This concept and our “ The golden mean ” It is very similar. It has a bit of Confucian style. It stresses moderation in everything. Be polite, not too much, not too little; A bowl of water is flat, not to the left, not to the right. Consider yourself and others, and balance external and internal causes. But this balance is different from the balance in justice. The balance of justice pays more attention to logic and material objects; And the balance of temperance pays more attention to the spiritual feeling. The so-called harmony in life, knowing how to be a man, not forcing pressure, all rely on virtue to convince people, is almost the realm of moderation.
Abstinence especially emphasizes the unity of man's internal and external, not only the consistency of words and deeds, but also the consistency of what he thinks and does in his hands, and even the spiritual and secular unity. If you want to be a musician, but do a financial analyst for money, it is not in line with the principle of moderation. When you draw the temperance card, you should always ask yourself: what do I really want in my heart? Then follow your heart. Moreover, the appearance of the moderation board also reminds the parties not to be tired by the secular framework. As long as they respond flexibly in another way, even their seemingly unrealistic inner desires may be realized in some way. For example, in the above case, if the party who loves music but has passed the age of practicing musical instruments and is in the business world, he can transfer to an instrument firm or record firm, or become a music broker. In this way, the heart of loving music will be liberated and realized in some form. The physical and mental unity of the party will be very beneficial to the health of his body or soul.
In addition, temperance also represents combination, but this combination is not a secular combination, but a spiritual combination. It is the combination of the red king and the white queen in alchemy. It symbolizes the process of the philosopher stone produced by the perfect combination of opposite elements. The two people combined under the temperance card must be because their souls are attracted to each other, which is very different from the pure love relationship. This relationship is likely to be mundane in the secular view, but it can bring soul comfort to the two hearts. However, it has to be said that temperance is closely related to the soul, so it is a very spiritual and spiritual card. In terms of mundane affairs, don't expect too much improvement in a short time when you draw temperance. At this stage, the most important thing is to find the right direction and make sure that what you do is what you want to do, that's all.

Inverse meaning
Contrarian temperance represents the separation of a person from his soul. No matter what this person is doing, no matter how successful he is, basically he doesn't know what he is doing. Contrarian abstinence brings a strong sense of nihility and unintentionalness, because the party concerned has been separated from his origin. No matter how luxuriant the crown is, it is useless to lose the nourishment of the root; Flies without heads can never fly out of the room by bumping around. At this point, the party concerned must sit down and return to the most basic question: what exactly do I want in my heart? Is what I am doing now consistent with my heart? Everyone is a seed.
