Temperance
 
She exists in her own realm, an angelic yet earthy being well aware of her inner world of exploration, creation and revelation. As it is below so it is above, as it is above so it is below as symbolized in the lush laboratory environment of the Earth. She is carefully and ritually mixing two polarities in her concealed hands, an intuitive act of balance and art. Temperance is the integration of polarities for balance and harmony, done through higher awareness and an objective perspective. It is being the witness and acknowledger of the connections between the realms, inner and outer. It is to take and to give equally, working in harmony with existence and all it's creative aspects and indulgences.
