Arcanum

Temperance

Open the card

The fourteenth arcanum gives balance. Such a person converts one thing into another: a mood into calm, a conflict into a conversation, someone else's experience into a form that can be understood.

They rarely throw themselves into extremes and do not like abrupt decisions. People grow calmer beside them — and that is their principal ability, the one they themselves do not usually count as an ability at all.

The other side of this is stagnation. Pouring one thing into another, the fourteenth arcanum can stay in the same place for years without noticing it, because there does appear to be movement.

It works best where patience and constancy are needed rather than a single push.

Day arcanum — character

Day arcanum = DT

The day of birth is the main part of the date. It is responsible for character and for what childhood was like, and along with that — for the past incarnation and for what a person brings out of it: inclinations, a craft, an attitude to work.

It is read as a general frame — much the way a zodiac sign is read in astrology: it describes a tendency, not the whole person. Character is made up of many numbers, and no one of them cancels out the rest.

The same arcanum can come from different days: for those born on the 1st and on the 23rd it coincides (23 − 22 = 1), but their ruling planets are different, and that shows in the character.

This is the positive part of the calculation — what a person starts from and can lean on, not a list of their limitations.
