“Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little.”
―Edna Ferber
My Choice is Temperance! 🙂 But as I read your answers – 4 of pentacles and 7 of cups, I immediately understood why you’ve chosen these cards.
Temperance is all about moderation, balance, and the blending of opposites. It speaks to finding harmony between extremes and understanding the importance of patience and self-restraint. It aligns perfectly with the quote because Temperance teaches that neither excess nor scarcity leads to peace and that balance is key.
The 4 of Pentacles often represents holding on tightly to material wealth or stability, sometimes out of fear or insecurity. It reflects a desire for control and fear of losing what one has. In a way, this could be seen as a response to the imbalance between having too much and too little—perhaps clinging too much to what is already there. But it also represents excess in the form of attachment, rather than the balance of which is what temperance is all about. So, while Temperance is about finding peace through moderation, the 4 of Pentacles suggests an imbalance by being overly focused on material security and possession. It’s is often a card of rigidity and hoarding, unlike Temperance, which encourages flexibility and the gentle blending of opposites. The 4 of Pentacles can point to an unhealthy attachment to things or the fear of losing them, whereas Temperance seeks to embrace a more holistic balance between material and spiritual needs.
The 7 of Cups represents choices, illusion, and the temptation of numerous desires and dreams. In this sense, it resonates with the Temperance message in that it warns of being pulled in too many directions, much like how excess (whether too many choices or desires) leads to confusion and imbalance. The quote about “too much of everything” applies totally because 7 of Cups reflects the danger of indulgence or escapism, for example when too many fantasies cloud clear judgment.
However, there is a difference. Unlike Temperance, which advocates finding balance and clarity between opposing forces, the 7 of Cups warns about the dangers of excess options and confusion. Temperance is about self-control, focused energy, and choosing wisely, while the 7 of Cups represents the opposite: being overwhelmed by too many choices or dreams, which leads to indecision. The 7 of Cups may highlight the problem of too many distractions, while Temperance seeks the solution of harmony and moderation. But I can totally see the 7 of Cups in the quote!
