Balance ~14

 Balance ~14~

 Balance was traditionally called Temperance in tarot. This is a word that means to meld or combine. We felt that re-naming the card Balance, made it much easier to understand. Balance refers to a time of cooperation with others and may ask us to be willing to change our plans, just a bit, so that everyone can be successful. The blending of ideas, is sure to bring about greater success. 

 This card asks us for patience; if things aren't working the way we're hoping, it may just be an issue of timing. When we contemplate major changes in our lives, this card asks us to take it slow and easy and to think things through carefully . This is not a time for acting impulsively! 

The Dreamers Journey

 Once we come to the Balance card, we've moved through a time of revelation and change. Now we must integrate those epiphanies into our lives. We have the opportunity to rise to a higher consciousness and are moving forward down the path to enlightenment. However, that path is more of a stroll than a race. Clearly, the Archangel on the card is not in any hurry.

 Life is a constant mixing and balancing of experiences that affect our future. We never stop learning, but we may have to repeat certain types of events in our lives if we forget to pause and understand the meaning.

Symbolism

 Archangel Zadkiel holds two goblets from which he pours water back and forth. He is eternally blending the knowledge gained from his experiences.

 He has one foot on the Earth and one in the water. Earth represents our outer perceptions, while the water symbolizes our inner wisdom. This card shows that these two worlds are coming together in order to create something amazing. 

 The irises are named for the goddess Iris, who was known as the messenger of the gods and also the goddess of the rainbow. In ancient Hebrew, the word rainbow, was the same as the word for Sagittarius, thereby giving us a very visual cue as to the card's astrological association.

 Zadkiel wears a triangle within a square on his waist. This represents spirit held within matter, just as we are spirit held within material bodies.

Angel Number

 The number 14 is another karmic number it is one of balance and peaceful coexistence with others. It can also be a bit restless and therefor needs to evaluate choices carefully. It has a very positive connection with angels that help keep a hopeful viewpoint, that's also indicated by the Balance cards optimistic outlook. 

Archangel Zadkiel 

 Archangel Zadkiel's  name means "the righteousness of God" . He's known for being helpful to anyone who's in a time of learning (especially students). When we find ourselves at an important juncture in our lives, Zadkiel can help us remember where we have been before and accurately assess where we'd like to go next. 

 He's an Archangel of healing who comes to us in the color of deep blue indigo.   

Astrology

It's also a mutable sign of the zodiac, which means that t has the ability to easily adapt to any situation and relate to almost any person. It's difficult to feel down when the energy of Sagittarius is present!
