Temperance as a Tarot Birth Card
You are measured, adaptable and often the person who brings balance to a group. You tend to look for the middle path and to prize harmony over drama.
As a personality card, Temperance appears when your digit total is 14. Its soul card is The Hierophant.
Temperance does not appear as a soul card, since soul cards are single digits (1 to 9). It can still be your soul card if your personality number is itself a single digit.
