Individual Card Meanings

Temperance

節制

Temperance shows an angel pouring water between two cups, representing the perfect blending of opposites into harmony. This card speaks of balance, moderation, and the patient integration of different aspects of life. Like an alchemist transforming base metals into gold, Temperance asks you to find the middle way, blending seemingly incompatible elements into something greater than their sum. This is not a time for extremes; rather, it calls for patience, purpose, and the wisdom to know that the best results come through careful, measured action. Walk the path between excess and restraint.

The Devil

惡魔

The Devil shows two figures chained at the feet of a horned beast, yet their chains are loose—they could leave if they chose to. This card represents the bondage we create for ourselves through attachment, addiction, materialism, or unhealthy relationships. It asks you to examine what holds you captive. What patterns, beliefs, or desires have become your prison? The Devil is not about external evil but about our shadow self—the parts of ourselves we deny or project onto others. When this card appears, it is time to honestly face your attachments and ask whether they serve your highest good or keep you in chains.
