Temperance Tarot Card: Take things a minute at a time
The piece of you that is Temperance is that piece of you that seeks harmony within. It seeks to not be overwhelmed. It does not want to feel like it is drowning in any sort of physical, emotional, spiritual or energetic way. These things can happen. Sometimes we have so much coming at us or placed on our shoulders that it feels like we are overtaken by it or are being crushed by it. In these times, we seek to lighten our load. We try to shake off what is excessive and not feel so heavy and overburdened. In order to feel in control, we need to focus on what we can focus on in the minute.
Choose the thing you can do in the minute and do that. The next minute, do the same. Focus your attention on one thing at a time until you no longer feel that sensation of being overwhelmed. This way, all that energy of all that stuff on you is not saturating you and making you feel like you are suffocating. Be careful how much you let yourself take on. Taking on too much can have the negative impact of over-saturating you with unwanted energy. Let the Temperance piece of you create filters and be careful what you take on. — Jim Larsen
