Description
Temperance shows a man with wings, or an angel standing by a stream. Its one foot rests on the ground in consciousness, and the other rests in the stream of the subconscious, which can also be seen as an indication of the bridge between mind and body. In his hands, this almost androgynous creature holds two Cups and pours liquid from one to the other.
It is the essence of life that is poured from the silver cup of the subconscious to the golden cup of consciousness and back again. Carefully pour contents from one to another without spilling anything – an indication of mastery.
The flowing fluid between the cups alludes to the constant movement necessary to maintain health. It appears that the water flowing between the two cups is a continuous flow of energy connecting both cups. The card’s symbols represent the overall union of opposites that creates something new.
