Temperance and The Moon Tarot Combination Meaning

Temperance and The Moon

Steadying the tides. Temperance stands with one foot on land and one in water, blending opposites calmly, while the Moon pulls the tides and stirs up fears and dreams. The task is to steady strong or confusing feelings and move through a hazy period one measured step at a time. Dreams are worth noting, and anxiety eases with a calm routine. In the Rider-Waite-Smith art, Temperance's path leads toward a crown of light, and the Moon's path winds into the dark. Keep walking patiently.
