The Tarot Diagnosis The Psychology of Temperance & Strength
Welcome back to a new year of The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast! This week I’m exploring the symbolism of the Temperance archetype while also finding where it intersects with the Strength card - as it’s the card of 2024.
Throughout the episode, I draw parallels between Temperance and psychological concepts like self-regulation, radical acceptance, and change, which we see in therapeutic modalities such as ACT and DBT. I discover that rather than merely advocating for balance, Temperance emphasizes the integration of conflicting emotions and thoughts to achieve inner harmony.
Eventually this leads to a discussion on the implications of the Strength card, highlighting the importance of self-compassion and navigating the both/and space rather than falling into if/then thinking.
