Description
The gods took equal parts fast and slow, equal parts material and spiritual and equal parts she and he . . . and they mixed them in their lotus cauldron as they stirred to life the Muse of Temperance. They needed this balance and malleability in the world, for her voice of reason would bring them together in a beautiful blend of oneness. Temperance doesn't jump to excess. She doesn't rely on the dark or the full moon. Instead, she is a mosaic of parts, and she melts it all together in a way that spins the best of the best of the best into one. She weaves purpose and harmony into the lives of others. And her greatest alchemical gift is the treasure of healing. She reminds you to turn despair into the gift of patience, and blend the need to thrive with the need to enjoy. When you walk the middle path that is available to you, what areas find greater balance?
Poem
I am the divine weaver of duality. I hold you. I am essence, And our evolution of becoming Is rooted in the mixing.
Visual Description
A luminous blond figure with cropped hair gazes straight ahead, hands resting against the cheeks beneath a stylized sun and radiating halo. Three pale circular discs cross the chest area, and below the central figure two mirrored dancers stand with arms raised, each holding a translucent sphere above flowing water. Two large white lotuses bloom at the bottom and a banner at the base reads "14. TEMPERANCE" against a star-speckled sky.
