xKnow what TEMPERANCE symbolizes and how it influences your life
Temperance is the card that indicates moderation and harmony. In this card, there is an angel. This angel is a Hermaphrodite which is indicative of the balance between the genders. One foot of this winged angel is on land and another in water. The foot on land symbolizes the material world and the foot in water is indicative of the subconscious.
