Hi all

I've seen this combination too many times, yet I haven't any idea what it means. The Temperance reversed comes out as Position 1 (Heart of the Matter) and Death is the obstacle.

What I think would be, the querent has sorta disregarded her health/social or work/life balance and is rather unwilling to change this even if I tell her? Or is it more towards -- actual Death, as in, due to her not finding a balance in her life, her own health would be threatened?

Thanks.

the querent is ignoring or refusing to see or bring about 'temperance' i.e. moderation, healing, in her situation whether it is her mental or physicals health.  
Death being an obstacle is not so different from the reversed Temperance in that the querent by refusing or denying herself healing may not bring about the changes that are needed in her life.
It is best not to go down the avenue of physical death, but as you seem to know the querent personally, then I would jokingly say it. Otherwise, unless she looks after her health, she will stay where she is and there will be no improvement in her health or physical state - yes, we could even die; this is an inveitability when people ignore signs or do things in excess.

To answer you question, yes, your view of these two cards is on the right track, but it is a matter of how you put it to the querent.

Hi Renjer,

Let us get to see what else can be seen here. We have two cards in the existential level of energy--our space time! However, both originated in the archetypal. The last level is the cosmic, into the future, or after death and entering a newer or higher level of life!

Now, I use a bit of numerology here;

Temperance is 14 and in position 1, : 1+4+1=6.....Vav in the Archetypal

Death is 13 in position 2, : 1+2+3=6.....Vav in the Archytepal.

But first go to this link and download this document.

Then download these as well:

Then you also download this:

And this will show you, how the three levels of energy is explained:

So, Death is 13, reduced to 4, which has to do with God, Geometry and Tarot and is the Emperor. We look at a four-square structure or the "foundation" which can not be altered in CC position 4, but ad 2, you get to Vav, 6--The Lovers.

But what we see is the fulfilling of Death in the Cosmic.
4--40--400
Dallet (Emperor)--Mem (Death)--Tav (The Fool)

Now we do the same with Temperance;
5--50--500
Hay (Hierophant), Nun (Temperance)--Kaf (The Throne).

Fives are ruled by the Hierophant, but he is before The Lovers and after the Emperor.

So my approach would be to say this person is not bringing the right emotion into the second house, and thus it will remain an obstacle, here we are looking at existential, but look where this was born, and the likely influence on the Cosmic level.

The thought process starts by an initial spark, this is Temperance Reversed, so he or she is "locking" the positive thoughts in position two via the Devil and the Emperor!!! I say it like this: Beth is your first thought on something, however, a person can keep on thinking about what he was thinking, and essentially becomes a "if I". I had that thought, what if I did it first"

Blessed be

OMG can anyone interpret please?


Paye you are the most intriguing person, what do you drink when in a pub/bar I bet your drink is as fascinating as you?

Payewacker, how does the Hebrew alphabet add or take away any of the interpretations of the cards?
I do get lost with this Aleph-Beth-Vev stuff my friend.
One would think the Hebrew alphabet was the mother of all intuition? I wouldnt think so myself.

I thin Renjer is now super confused.
