In love readings

In love, Temperance is the art of proportion: two different people, one recipe, slow stirring. It counsels against both fusion and distance — the measure is the marriage.

In work readings

Temperance at work

At work, Temperance is process craft: the right ratio of speed to care, of listening to deciding. Alchemy happens at the correct dilution — most things fail at the extremes.

Shadow side
