Brotherhood of Light Tarot: Arcanum XIV. The Alchemist
After we have walked to our Death by way of the reaper, we are reborn the Alchemist. In Temperance, the Alchemist finds that the tranquil mind predicts the progress of improvement through steady transformation or transmutation in Time. The appearance of Temperance arrives as a harmonization balances the masculine and feminine forces that materialize the actions and perceptions we carry with us down the road throughout our lives. Equilibrium by opposition invites stability into the mind by the bonds of perfect chemistry—to what was once named the reunion of soul mates. To greet the will and reception as same is to master the art of transmutation to gold. As new life springs forth from the silenced mind of the alchemist, the conjunct soul responds to reinvent the world. The alchemist remains first and foremost a physician of philosophy—the one who heals with the heart, the wisdom, and the will of gold. Let patience slow the senses to absolute faith in one’s own plan to persevere. Like water, the softest thing penetrates the mountain with subtle waves of influence by the seasons and years. Be not shaken by length of its wait or the gravity of fate.
If this is your card, you have reached self-mastery through balance. Perhaps you’ve acquired a new skill, new perspective, new life or love or foundation to stand upon. No matter the case, you have absolute faith in your ability to see it through to success. The beauty of such an acquaintance resounds songs of infinite harmonious measure to light up the dingiest arenas in life. Listen close to the undertones speak the meaning of the symphony, and reflect this motion with concordant composition as you step to the rhythm of the dance in time. Felicity is found in the harmony between the one and the life one leads.
