Temperance
A winged angel stands with one foot on land and one in a pool, pouring water between two golden cups in a stream that seems to flow uphill. Irises bloom at the water's edge and a path winds toward a glowing crown on the horizon.
★ Upright
Temperance is the art of the right mixture. Upright, it counsels moderation, patience, and the blending of things that seem opposed — work and rest, heart and head, two people, two plans. Nothing about your situation needs to be all one thing. The middle path here is not compromise; it is alchemy.
♺ Reversed
Reversed, the mixture is off: excess in one area, drought in another, a life pouring its energy into a cup that never fills. It flags imbalance, impatience, and remedies that have become their own problem. Rebalance in small, boring increments — that is how the angel does it.
