THIS IS A LONG STORY SO STICK WITH ME PLEASE.SOMETHING STRANGE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AND I WOULD LIKE SOME GUIDANCE.FOR SOME TIME I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT LEARNING TAROT BUT COULDN'T FIND A CLASS LOCALLY. THEN I READ SOMEWHERE THAT IT WAS UNLUCKY TO BUY YOUR OWN TAROT CARDS, SO DECIDED THAT WAS AN END TO MY IDEA.
LAST WEEK WHILST WALKING MY DOG I FOUND A FEATHER AND REMEMBERED READING SOMEWHERE THAT IT WAS A SIGN THAT AN ANGEL HAD PASSED THAT WAY SO I PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET PREGNANT.SHE HAS HAD TWO FAILED ATTEMPTS AT IVF AND HAD TWO EGGS STILL IN DEEP FREEZE. STRANGELY ENOUGH SHE PHONED ME LATER THAT DAY TO TELL ME SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH HER FINAL ATTEMPTAT IVF SO I SENT HER THE ANGELS FEATHER WITH AN ANGEL POEM. I WAS DRAWN TO ANGELS AND BY SOME SHEER FLUKE FOUNDHP WEB SITE AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE WAS A THREAD BY A LADY CALLEDAMYOFFERING ANGEL CARD READINGS.
ANYWAY THE PLOT THICKENS .....MY HUSBAND AND I SELL BOOKS ANDWE BUY SURPLUS STOCK FROM THE LOCAL CHARITY SHOP EVERY WEEK. I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WHEN SORTING THROUGH THE BOXES OF BOOKSI FOUND A COMPLETE SET OF TAROT CARDS AND AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO TAROT BOOK!THAT WAS STRANGE INDEED.
NOW THIS HAS REALLY FREAKED ME OUT THIS EVENING.....I AM SITTING HERE AND DECIDED TO PICK UP THE DECK OF CARDS. I FANNED THEM OUT AND THE ONLY ONE THAT IS TURNED FACE UP IS.....TEMPERANCE...AN ANGEL!
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS?

RE: Temperance - Meaning Please
hi Elle
sounds like the angels are really trying to talk to you!
the themes of the Temperance card are i) being temperate (i.e. finding middle ground/ showing moderation) ii) experiencing health iii) maintaining a balance iv) combining forces
where justice represents balance through the mind, temperance represents the need for balanced emotions.
the energy of the temperance card is a comforting one, it's like a person who goes about their business with an air of calm deliberation, they are incredibly centred.
it shows us the need to show moderation and self-restraint, which is often necessary when we are surrounded by enticing indulgences.
it's energy may seem a bit boring on the surface, but it is definitely the calm in the eye of the storm. all around are swirling winds, but in the centre is a still point that brings everything into balance.
it can represent a need for moderation and a need for balance. in conflict situations it suggests that compromise and cooperation are vital. look for any opportunity to bring opposing parties together.
this card is also the card of good health in all areas - physical, mental and emotional. it holds out the promise of vitality and well-being.
another meaning which can be drawn from this card is success in relationships; it indicates a good time to concentrate on feelings and relationships.
i hope this helps. i have given you the themes that this card can represent rather than analysing what the card might mean in your circumstances as i wasn't sure if you wanted to try and do that for yourself? just say if you'd like a more personal interpretation!
love and blessings

Hi Blackcat
Thankyou for your help and understanding. I would appreciate a more personal interpretation if you have the time. I am an absolute novice but will study what you have told me and also refer to the book which I found with the cards.
