Temperance is a very gentle card. She tells you not to go to any extremes, find a path of balance and do things moderately. In my case she’ll often remind me not to let strong emotions, especially anxiety, get the better of me. Swans are graceful birds. To me they always exude a sense of calmness as they float along in still waters. As water birds there’s a balance between air and water in their lives, each aspect important.
