In the foreground, we see a woman's body with her head outside of the frame. She pours a dark liquid from one silver jug into another. Her costume is elegant if old-fashioned, yet there is a cartoony tattoo on her arm - a strange mix of old and new. The background is marked off in grids, and there are scientific objects - a valve-like beaker and other glassware. I like the association of scientific measuring out of ingredients, which has a very (al)chemical feel to it. This fits well with my understanding of Temperance, where a carefully thought out balance of different elements or factors is necessary: the right mix to create the desired outcome.
What different ingredients make up your day today? How do you need to balance them to achieve what you desire? What might help you show self-restraint as you work towards your goals? Can you express your individuality through your choice of varied elements, be it in clothes, work or character traits?
