Tarot Symbolism
The sign of Sagittarius is associated with the Temperance card in the Tarot.
Attune to the qualities of Sagittarius with a 3-minute tarot meditation on Temperance.
Temperance is the messenger of a simple spiritual truth – moderation is virtuous. It teaches that one is strengthened by self-restraint. It represents the act of tempering where substances are combined to form a new whole. Temperance conditions the quest for higher knowledge, offering concentration, creative energy, flexibility and adaptability as aids to direction.
Confer with Temperance to focus on a goal or to journey within to bring self-knowledge to consciousness.
