The Siren
“Our love was alluring and sometimes perilous, like the siren’s call that tempts sailors to rocky shores. Learn from its seductive lessons, understanding the balance between allure and caution. The siren, a symbol of irresistible attraction and danger, mirrors the captivating yet seductive nature of our passion.”
When you draw the Siren card, it signifies a powerful message from a past romantic relationship that was enchantingly enticing but potentially dangerous. This card speaks about love that’s hypnotic and captivating but can also be risky or damaging. The Siren commands your awareness, with an invitation to delve into the deep waters of your past romantic experiences, providing valuable insights that are essential for your future love life.
The Siren can symbolize a relationship that was both passionate and volatile in nature. These types of relationships often teach us the most valuable lessons about how we love and what we are willing to endure for that love. Like the alluring yet dangerous Siren in the sea, this past love might have been enchanting and irresistible, but it may have also led you astray from your path, causing hardship or even heartbreak.
This card indicates that your past experiences can offer important insights and lessons for your future relationships. The Siren’s music is captivating, but it may also lead a ship to its demise. Similarly, your previous relationship may have been electrifying yet damaging, and it’s time for you to decode its melody. This card encourages you to seek and understand the lessons behind the alluring yet perilous love that the Siren represents.
A mesmerizing Siren in her exquisite splendor sits on a rock, her mermaid tail gently touching the cerulean water, a distant ship navigates the stormy waters in the background, symbolizing the turmoil past love has left in its wake. She strums her harp, and though the tune is captivating, it has the potential to steer you off course. The Siren isn’t only a symbol of temptation and allure but a call to exercise caution and discernment in love.
This past love had a kind of luminous intensity, the kind that drags you in and holds you spellbound. Meanwhile, the Siren’s allure can also serve as a warning sign of uncharted territory ahead, symbolizing the volatile aspects of this relationship. It tells the tale of a love that was dazzling and exhilarating, however, it might have led you towards uncertain and unmapped waters.
Listen To The Song Of Your Past
The card asks you to tune into the songs of your past. What melodies are still resounding in your heart from this relationship? What verses of love and loss still echo in your mind? Which chords hit you the hardest, the sweet prefatory notes or the discordant hues of its finale? Looking back on this relationship with a clear and grounded perspective can offer you the insight needed for navigating future relationships.
Think about these questions when you draw the Siren card. Is there a past love that still plays songs in your heart? What lesson did you learn from that relationship? What are the enchanting yet potentially dangerous aspects of love that the story of the Siren is cautioning you about? How can you integrate these lessons into your present and future relationships?
Interpreting The Siren Card For Your Present
The Siren card has appeared to signal that it’s time for you to listen to the echoes of your past relationships that still reverberate within your heart. It might be painful, but it’s crucial to assimilate these lessons into your current love-related experiences. If there’s one message that the Siren carries, it is that the allure of past love serves as a valuable lesson for the present. It stands as a beautiful but hazardous melody in your heart — appreciable, but something to approach with caution. Understand its tune and use it as a guide as you navigate through the tumultuous seas of love in your life.

The Temperance card is all about balance and moderation and is an important reminder for people to prioritize their health, especially if they are struggling with addiction or depression, and this can include more formal treatment options like rehab or therapy. While we often associate addiction with drugs or alcohol, many people are addicted to social media, online-games, in-app purchases, gambling, or even shopping – anything that interferes with a normal, balanced life. Medical professionals can provide wonderful support and assistance to anyone who is struggling.
Rehabilitation for those in need can take many forms and can be affordable. There are many kinds of rehab centers and treatment programs, ranging from residential rehab to local community outpatient treatments and addiction counseling. Professional help and support, whether from doctors, support staff, or other clinical experts has a wide range of benefits.
With one foot on the ground and the other in the water, an angel stands over a pond, pouring water into two cups. The angel is at ease in both the waking and subconscious realms. She is juggling two opposing poles: material and spiritual, and wonders which one she must give up for the for the sake of the other. This is the still point that restores harmony to the universe.
Temperance is an upbeat card that urges you to achieve harmony and balance in your life and to tackle difficulties with patience and serenity. It understands that conflicting forces inside you do not have to be at odds. Make any important choices with caution, knowing that excellent decisions will lead to a positive outcome for you. Moderation and self-control may help you handle problems in your life.
Patience, self-control, and calmness are all blessings on offer from the Temperance card. This card implies that if you have lately had tough circumstances, you will soon feel calmer and be able to deal with the situation better. You have a good sense of how to handle life and can bring disparate parts together to create a better whole. However, Temperance reminds you of the need for restraint and balance.
On the face of the Temperance card, we see an angel floating just above the earth on the cover of Temperance. She attempts to establish equilibrium by pouring one cup of water into the other. We can also observe that she has one foot on the land and the other in the water, indicating that she is attempting to attain behavioural balance.
Balance is Your Key to Success
Temperance is the card of balance, and its message is to seek equilibrium. The card does not indicate whether the angel will be successful in achieving balance between his two cups, but it does indicate that she is attempting to do so. Another meaning of this card is the necessity to join forces or combine thoughts and materials in order for anything to succeed – the angel can only balance the cups by mixing the water in them.
When you draw the Temperance card, you are being asked to evaluate what you need to create balance and harmony in your life. Do you need to restrain yourself from making hasty decisions? Are you in need of motivation? What must occur in order for you to achieve a state of centeredness? Is there a part of your life where you’re creating this discord? Examine your personal connections, job, and previous activities to see if you can achieve the balance that Temperance encourages you to find.
What Temperance Means for You Today
The Temperance card has shown up for you today to encourage you to seek a proper balance in your life. Whether you’re struggling to balance work and home life, or to balance your responsibilities against your desire to have some fun, it’s never easy being pulled in many different directions at once. Temperance reassures you that it is possible to find an equilibrium which works for you, emotionally as well as in terms of everyday practicalities. Do something positive today towards finding that balance – today’s first small step is the beginning of your journey towards Temperance.

Annika celebrates her tricks on a two-wheeler:
so do Owen and Oliver
balance and speed and
steering and braking and weaves
‘tween brother and dad
it appears that tongue protrusion when concentrating is hard-wired into our nervous systems. It is an entirely benign condition of those who are focusing their attention.
