It’s Christmas eve, and I draw Temperance for the Daily Tarot. Now, that’s funny. No drinking yourself under the Christmas tree to avoid talking to the relatives or eating so much you need to pull out the fat clothes, okay?

Just saying.

Today’s Tarot is “Patience” from the Psychic Tarot Oracle, aka Temperance and associated with Sagittarius. Number 14 of the major arcana, it reduces to five, a number that indicates conflict and an ever-changing situation. This card can refer to moderation, or mixing disparate energy, like the angel in the traditional version mixes fire and water.

In short, let things happen in their own time and space. I’m no different than anyone else; I get impatient. I can end up trying too hard trying to force circumstances where I want them instead of letting life and individuals organically reach their own conclusions.

Patience advises otherwise. Let people, places and circumstance ripen at their own speed. Growth is most effective that way. Take care of your own business, and leave others to theirs. Instead of fighting, accept the diversity (Sagittarius) for the gift that it is, while keeping abreast of alternative perspectives to keep yourself from getting too far on the deep end.

How comfortable are you with this kind of patience? Got the astrology?
