Temperance Tarot Therapy

Card of the Day

ART
also known as...
Temperance!

This is from The Cosmic Tribe deck which follows the pattern of the Thoth system of tarot, which saw Temperance renamed as Art.

This is a card that benevolently commands patience, attention to detail and fine tuning. It is the angelic essence that follows the Death card and makes us feel safe again as we rebuild a transformed version of ourselves. It is an archetype which holds reliable powers of transmutation and alchemy. A healer who also delivers divine inspiration and encompasses the energy of the muse - the nurture we need to express ourselves artfully.

Engage with life gently. Pay attention to benevolent signs, symbols and synchronicity when the Art card presents itself. This is often a window that remains open for some time - we must allow the meaning to come to us softly and in measured pace. The Art/Temperance archetype won't loudly announce it's arrival, but will patiently wait for you to notice. We must find an inner calm and trust our intuition at these times - no hasty moves, a gradual merging of available resources from the material to the divine which gently places you back onto the correct path for your soul purpose.

I could say so much more about this card... For now, I'll leave you with that 🙏

🔥🐎🔥 So here is my reading for the fire horse year! Inclined to share so maybe some of you need to see it too...🔥🐎🔥

Deck: Chrysalis Tarot by Holly Sierra and Toney Brooks

Prioritise emotional stability to allow everything else to unfold freely...

Welcome abundance and warmth in the home.

Enjoy times with fulfilling friends to strengthen the connection between daily reality and the heart centre.

Be patient with matters of the heart, consider many perspectives and you may see a possibility you didn't even know existed.

Let your heart tell your mind the story of your life through the eye of what is good and light.

Take a pause at thresholds and remember your agency - you have permission to change the course of things if you so wish.

Choose to celebrate self expression, move it out of the mind and into action!

Trust that you do not need to overthink everything - there is a higher seer guiding your actions. Let those who see clearly guide you, in spirit and incarnate.

Remember your actions are weaving a bigger picture that will become your future reality. Hold your focus. Recognise your own thread.

"You don't have to be the whole weave.
You just have to be your very own thread"
Alexa Sunshine Rose - Trust In The Weaver

It seems the universe doesn't want Temperance to open this week, with our lovely Ash not feeling well yesterday and now my beloved cat, Leo is coming very close to the end of his life here, so I will be staying at home to nurse him as he gets ready to pass into spirit.

Leo is elderly at the grand age of 18 years and although he has been a really healthy cat, this past 6 months has seen him decline with what is likely lymphoma. The vet didn't want to do any invasive tests to confirm this but it seems pretty clear. I was so relieved that the vet supported him having palliative care at home and didn't suggest euthsnasia. He is being kept comfortable and cared for so he can pass away naturally.

He's been a VERY special cat ❣️ and deserves all the cuddles today and until he is ready to go.

Thank you for understanding, as I know you're all good folk 🙏

A blessed 2026 to all of your reading this 💫

I'm hoping to find the right balance between gentle and bold this calendar year.

2025 was poignant, exhausting, precious and humbling. A huge thank you to everyone who has valued, supported and appreciated me this year. An extra shout out to Durham Markets for being so understanding.

Professionally, I have really enjoyed teaching increasing numbers of people to read tarot themselves, and coaching others in the psychospiritual arts. I'm also proud to have started a small women's group that grows witchier and witchier as we bond in our safe and supportive circle 🙏

My soul yearns for an increase in the cultivation of sacred art and poetry, this is something I will be focusing on as 2026 unfolds... Including, but certainly not limited to, visual art pieces and poetry based on tarot. Commissions will likely become available soon... although I already have 12 works planned so there may be a bit of a wait for larger pieces.

Temperance will be closed this Wednesday as I am heading to Newcastle to drop off some of my late Dad's artwork which is being displayed at Ouseburn Bottleworks, as part of The Witching Hour exhibition.

I am filled with joy that this is happening! The exhibition sounds so interesting and I am very proud of my Dad for finally being exhibited. He was not one to "blow his own trumpet" so I took the reins on this one and submitted his work, and he was selected. I only wish he could have come with us to the exhibition, but I'm sure he'll be there in spirit 🙏

Details below because I'm sure some of you will be as intrigued as I am about what this exhibition is offering ❤️

Check out this glowing review for Ash!

They are reading at Temperance this afternoon, and Saturday afternoon this week. Walk-ins are welcome but I'd definitely recommend booking a space to avoid missing out before they go home for the festive season ❤️

Email ashmarshalltarot@gmail.com to arrange an appointment with Ash 💫

Here's a little reading I've done for myself this morning. I feel compelled to share, so perhaps it resonates with some of you today as well 😊

The message with this one was very clear and concise:

"Stay open to the rebirth of your inspiration today. The kind of inspiration that you nurture and it, in turn, nurtures you, leading to a steady sense of reward. There is no need for haste today, this inspiration wants to grow into something beautiful gradually, rather than be expressed prematurely."

Here's what the placements mean...

What should I consider as I go about my day:

🔥 Ace of Wands

What else can you tell me about how to make the most of this card:

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Four of Wands
AND
🔥🐴🔥 Knight of Wands (reversed)

☝️ These two came out together
