Temperance
The harmonious power of balance and integration. An angel holds two holy grails and gently and slowly pours water from one into the other, symbolizing the reconciliation of opposites and the balance of body and mind. The background features blooming flowers and peaceful mountains, suggesting that harmony is not static but a dynamic balance. Temperance doesn't mean restraint; instead, it tells us to seek integration among opposites and use the wisdom of temperance to bring our lives back to harmony.
