About Temperance
An angelic figure pouring water between two cups in a continuous flow, one foot on land and the other in water, a path leading to a radiant horizon.

Excess or imbalance is pulling you off center. You may be overindulging in one area while starving another. The harmony you need starts with recognizing where you've tipped too far.
