14 – Temperance
The Temperance card symbolizes a symphony of balance and harmony. Archangel Michael stands at the meeting point of sun and moon, day and night—a sacred realm where time and space intertwine.
In her hands are two mystical vessels containing the elements of water and fire. When feminine and masculine energies are properly harmonized, they merge into a radiant rainbow, symbolizing harmony, hope, and beauty. This signifies the perfect union of opposites—water and fire—creating miracles through balance. The card carries a message: under the influence of temperance, deep wounds of the soul can be healed; chaotic thoughts can become orderly and clear.
Beneath the angel's feet, feminine energy flows like an undercurrent of life, carrying memories, emotional sediment, and hidden secrets. Yet Michael harnesses the power of fire to control and stabilize these energies, ensuring they do not spiral out of control and that harmony is maintained through cyclic flow.
