Temperance

In our next episode of tarot cards' description I would like to talk about the card that may provoke some interesting reflections on how well we deal with our inner spirit communication.
Many of us have been presented with a picture of a guardian angel that loves us with infinite and protective love, the one that helps to understand the benevolent part of our subconsciousness - the watchful and caring force in our life. Some of these pictures have been derived from promises of our upbringing that are taken for granted in our childhood, then as we shake our heads in disbelief and leave aside anything that childish and naive.
Temperance is a card that helps us to reconcile with our spiritual judgement and the inner balance that speaks through something larger than ourselves. Be it inner voice, be it an angel, a protective guardian - it may be elevated in our understanding to a trust that can bring fruitful dialogue between what we think we need, what we really need in wider perspective and what helps us to conclude this discourse - seeing what's really available in times when we deem that nothing is given to us yet all is worked for.
The healing of the inner child and its opposite pole - a healer in us that has been hurt is possible through understanding of balance. A balance that is neither resignation or sacrifice but a true understanding of what's helpful.
Like in a dream that is meandering and comes back and back again, only to be fully formed and shaped so we can see all the details of our yearning through the eyes of an experienced, yet with the purity of a child's heart.
