Temperance and Family Reversed

Temperance Reversed in Family

When Temperance is reversed in the context of family, its upright themes may be distorted or blocked. Reversed, it can point to tension, unspoken conflict, or roles that feel rigid or unfair. Family patterns—inherited expectations, favouritism, or old grudges—may be affecting your sense of belonging or your ability to show up fully.

This position can also suggest that family support is lacking or that you need to seek your "chosen family" elsewhere for a while. Honour your need for safety and respect; when Temperance appears reversed here, it often asks you to put your own wellbeing first so you can eventually show up for family from a place of strength.
