Temperance is the fifteenth card in the Major Arcana. It is a card of harmony, moderation, and cooperation. Through patience and composure, you can achieve both inner growth and external goals. You have left the guise of the Fool behind, and therefore must learn to take your time rather than rushing in where angels might fear to tread. When Temperance appears, it is a sign that, at this time, slow and steady will win the race. If the card is reversed, you may find that your progress has stalled, perhaps after a time of excess. Temperance invites you to take time to restore both inner and outer balance, and assures you that you will feel all the better for it.
Nicole as Temperance
When we first meet Nicole, she seems to really know what she wants in life. As her character continues to develop, much like the Temperance card, we see Nicole begin to display immense amounts of patience and cooperation, regardless of her confusion about what’s really going on around her in Purgatory. As Temperance reversed, we see Nicole’s inner struggles with her past and how it reflects in her future, causing more of an imbalance at times. This forces her to rely on the help of others to take time to regain her balance.
