Temperance counsels you to moderate yourself intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Any action or inaction must be measured and appropriate to the issue at hand. Through patience and moderation you will allow yourself to act with calm confidence, aware of the effect your actions will have.

When a time of great stress and anxiety occurs, task yourself with creating an environment of complete balance within yourself. Avoid any extreme action that has not been carefully weighed, as you may risk the stability of more than you realize in this moment.

This card also cautions you to beware of extremes in behavior or expectations. Both fearful inaction and spontaneous overreaction will be detrimental to the matter at hand, so focus inward and strive for balance in your preparation and response.

When The Fool visits you, know that it is a sign to embrace an opportunity with enthusiasm and optimism. The Fool calls for courage and trust in yourself, both of which must be well-rooted before you can take a leap of faith and begin a new journey. This card often represents new opportunities within your career or relationships, but can also be a guide when you find yourself unable to choose a path where many are available.

You may be caught at a crossroads, unable to see what lies ahead, and so you are left frozen in indecision. Drawing The Fool encourages you to take a deep breath and trust your foundational self; you may not be able to see the end of each road ahead, but the destination is only part of the journey. Choose a road that sparks your curiosity and forge ahead armed with the constructive feelings of anticipation, wonder, and awe.

Know that The Fool is not guided by cold universal logic, but rather by curiosity and optimism within. Allow yourself to embrace your inner wonder and imagination, and if you are devoid of these feelings, The Fool counsels you to rediscover and reconnect with them.

The Tower stands tall and striking on the horizon, cutting upwards into the sky as a momentous symbol of our perception of self and the world around us. We see it in the moment of destruction, laid low by a bolt of lightning - a powerful symbol of illumination and realization - that fractures our perception of the world and sends ripples throughout the fabric of our life.

Know that the destruction of old foundations must occur to build stronger foundations anew. Bringing down The Tower may be a traumatic experience, but it provides an entirely new path full of potential and hope. The Tower counsels you to take stock of your priorities and remain adaptable. As jarring as the destruction of our perception is, The Tower tells us it was shattered by a great truth that will enlighten us in the end.
