Temperance
节制
An angel stands with one foot on land and one in water, pouring liquid between two cups in an endless flow. This angel is Michael, the archangel of balance and healing, whose name means 'who is like God.' The triangle on the angel's robe represents the trinity of body, mind, and spirit, enclosed within a square of earthly existence. Irises bloom at the water's edge — named for the Greek goddess who served as messenger between gods and humanity. A golden path winds from the water toward twin peaks illuminated by a radiant crown of light — the path of balance leading to enlightenment. Temperance teaches the art of the middle way — the wisdom that comes from blending extremes into harmony. After the dramatic transformation of Death, Temperance offers healing through patience and moderation. When this card appears, it calls for balance in all things and reminds you that the best results come from measured, thoughtful action.
