Card of The Day: Temperance.
Of all the cards in the Tarot deck, this is the card I wish would influence the word. Temperance takes two undrinkable ideals and tempers them into something palatable.
We seem to be offered either or choices today. My way or nothing. Temperance has been kidnaped, and respectful dissent is in hiding.
We can still use the lessons of Temperance, even if the political landscape does not.
Compromise should be associated with win win. Not win loose.
If you have poured water from one glass to another, it takes a steady hand. Temperance is a wise and experienced hand at working with volatile ideals. In our day to day lives, it is always good to find someone who is steady and clear headed to do the mixing. If we choose inexperienced or biased hands, there can be disastrous consequences.
Before you try to mixing ideals; make sure your hands are steady, and your heart is unbiased.
Getting the right mix is the challenge always.
