After the purging of Death, the hero must heal and integrate. Temperance is the alchemical blending of opposites to create a new, balanced self. It is the angel guiding the flow of life force, teaching moderation and the middle path.
🔢 Numerological Association
14 (Fourteen). The number of integration and alchemy. 1+4=5 (The Hierophant), but here the spiritual bridge is internal. It represents the testing and tempering of the soul to find the perfect blend.
