✦ Upright Meaning
An angel pours water between two cups without spilling a drop, one foot on land and one in water. Temperance is the art of the middle path: blending opposing forces — patience and urgency, giving and receiving — into something whole and healing.
✦ Reversed Meaning
Reversed, it points to imbalance, excess in one direction, or impatience that has broken a delicate harmony. It may be time to slow down and recalibrate rather than push further.
