TODAY’S MESSAGE: In all you do today, seek balance. If you are trying something new, you will have the best success if you are moderate in your approach. Do it a little, and then step back to see how it feels. This is how you can make long-lasting, sustainable changes to your relationships, attitude, or behavior — little by little.

Temperance is a card of integration and finding balance.

Now is a time of adjustment. Two or more things are coming together to create something new. You may be integrating your life with someone else’s, integrating your work and home lives, or integrating spirituality into your everyday life.

Whatever project you are working on, be sure to change a little, then step back and assess the results. Like a scientist, change one variable at a time and see what happens.

Find your balance before moving forward. Use your emotions and be practical, too. Compromise will be necessary in a situation with another person.

If you’ve been feeling off-kilter, seek a balance between work and play, feeling and doing.

ADVICE: Learn by trial and error.
