Temperance

Associated with the sign of Sagittarius, temperance emphasizes balance, temperance, and patience in life and urges you to choose the golden mean in order to achieve harmony. The winged angel, as a hermaphrodite (the child of Hermes and Aphrodite), symbolizes the balance of male and female energies and is considered essential for the spiritual enlightenment of society and individuals. With one foot in the water and one on land, she also stressed the importance of moderation. The land represents the material world and the water represents the spiritual realm, thus indicating that she is rooted between the two.
