Profile

A Tarot de Marseille Temperance card
A Rider-Waite-Smith Temperance card

In tarot, the Temperance is the fourteenth of the 21 trump cards, which are called "Major Arcana" in esoteric usage. The imagery originates from Italian tarocchi decks. The Temperance card typically features a woman or angel mixing wine with water; this was a common depiction of temperance as a cardinal virtue in Renaissance art.

Arthur Edward Waite lists the following divinatory meanings in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot: "Economy, moderation, frugality, management, accommodation. Reversed: Things connected with churches, religions, sects, the priesthood, sometimes even the priest who will marry the Querent; also disunion, unfortunate combinations, competing interests."[1]

In Megami Ibunroku Persona, it is equivalent to the Avatar race.
