Description: The Angel between heaven and earth blending different elements into a harmonious substance represents a bridge between polarities like heaven and earth, masculine and feminine, beginning and end.

Temperance signifies that moderation is necessary to modify passions and maintain harmony in relationships, and to build on tolerance and cooperation in groups. In a negative situation, Temperance characteristics are indecision, inconstancy, excess, obsession, and lack of control.
