The title for The Temperance Tarot card is, ‘The Daughters of the Reconcilers, the Bringer-forth of Life’. The image seen on the card is that of Diana huntress. This is the equilibrium not of the balance of Libra but of the impetus of Sagittarius, which cleaves its way through the air by the force imparted to it. It requires the counter changed forces of Fire and water, held by the restraining power of Saturn and concentrated by the energies of Mars to initiate this impetus. All these are summed up in the symbolism of the figure standing between Earth and water, holding the two amphorae with their streams of living water and with the volcano in the background.

The image on The Temperance Tarot card can be best explained as : A winged angel, with the sign of the sun upon his forehead and on his breast the square and triangle of the septenary. The figure than can be seen is neither male nor female. It is held to be pouring the essences of life from chalice to chalice. It has one foot upon the earth and one upon waters, thus illustrating the nature of the essences.
