From the Anima Mundi Tarot, Temperance; from the Nature's Pharmacy deck, Witch hazel:
You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone. ―Marcus Aurelius
Wyreweden uses an azalea to illustrate her Temperance card, a shrub that is seen in nearly every yard and park in the southeast. Its eye-catching blooms occur early in the spring in colors of white, pink, red and purple. This ornamental prefers dappled sunlight rather than the extremes of sun or shade. Symbolically, it represents emotional evenness or equanimity. Due to its astringent and antiseptic properties, Witch hazel has been used for centuries to soothe minor skin irritations. This plant encourages us to soothe our emotional irritations rather than continue to inflame them with nonstop opinions, assumptions and judgments. We may find when we do that we're more the cause of our disturbance rather than the situation itself.
