When Temperance appears reversed in a health reading, pay attention to potential imbalances. The reversed Temperance in health matters indicates imbalances in wellness approaches, extreme health measures, or impatience with natural healing processes. You may be swinging between neglecting your health completely and obsessing over every symptom, or trying extreme diets, exercise routines, or treatments rather than finding balanced approaches. This card can represent impatience with recovery, wanting instant healing rather than allowing your body time to restore itself, or conflicts between different treatment approaches that prevent integrated healing.
