Temperance is one of the cards that rely heavily in the context. In relationships that are beginning, it can be a sign that you are not the only option that your prospective partner has in mind, and it can also signify that things need to be left alone to show their true colors. In complicated relationships, Temperance is as well an indicator of more people involved than you know. In committed relationships, Temperance speaks about patience and transformation, personal growth that needs to happen for the relationship to continue and also acceptance. In the context of a break-up, a reconciliation is possible when timing is right.
