"The answer is not more. The answer is balance."
Six quick picks first, then your reading
An angel pouring overflowing glimmering liquid from cup to cup. Temperance speaks of balance, but more of a divine balance. Trust in your spirit guides for wisdom and commune with that which you don't understand
You have found balance in the middle of this chaotic world, a very rare moment indeed. Do not seek to add or remove too much from your life right now. Just channel the messages from the divine and enjoy being in harmony with the world around you
Your world is chaotic, and some of that might be due to your own inability to find balance. Sometimes less is more, consider dropping a few of the balls you are juggling (especially the ones that always seem to roll away the furthest).

Temperance for Cancer in Self and Identity
The Nurturer
Jupiter sits outside Cancer's usual Moon register, so this one arrives as unfamiliar weather. Upright, this has turned inward, to the place where the outer tools stop working.
When reading about yourself through a Cancer lens, the Temperance says that you feel like you are only acceptable when you are useful, your body is something that wants too much (or needs too much), and your own feelings are something to handle in private. This has either made you excellent at ignoring your own pain until it becomes a crisis, or taught you that being gentle with yourself is not selfish. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Cancer blind spot in it is being seen as a burden, or as someone whose needs are too much.
In practice that can look like something you cannot un-see about yourself, or a season ending. Whatever form it takes, it is turning inward, where the usual moves stop working.
