Temperance is the tarot card for July and it brings a request for balance way all options before making any decisions choose goals carefully and find the reason and the motivation for attaining them.

On the Temperance card, there is an angel with wings, whose gender is not immediately obvious, which suggests that there is a balance between the sexes. 

One foot of the angel is in water, to represent the subconscious, while the other foot is on dry land, a representation of the material world. On their robe, there is a square, which has a triangle inscribed inside, another echo of the tangible earth in union with the holy trinity. They hold two cups in a manner where they can mix the waters, which represent the super and subconscious minds. The water flows between the cups, suggesting union and infinity.

Everything about this card represents balance, the perfect harmony that comes from the union of dualities. Temperance’s advice is to test any new waters, before jumping into the deep end.

This month, take time to evaluate and re-examine the priorities you have chosen. This will help create a balance between your outer and inner self. At the end of it all, you will find greater purpose and meaning in your actions, for her message is that we cannot live fully in either.
