14 - TEMPERANCE - The Art of Combination bringing Realization
(Noun; Sagittarius)
Undertakes Alchemical Transmutation....
The Process of awakening Spiritual Reality through material experience in a manner of moderation and self-control which brings one toward eventual Cosmic Consciousness. The Combination of Spiritual forces, represented by the Right Foot in the water, and physical forces, represented by the the Left Foot on the land. Note that the liquid passing from Chalice to Chalice appears to be water, indicating that the Spirit is animating material substance with Life; this being shown by vegetation on the land. The Road passing from the water's edge winds upward to the distant mountains where the Mystic Spiritual Crown is shown. This is the Path from a Primal Spirit, unaware of creative process, passing through successive Incarnations to acquire experience that leads toward eventual conscious Spiritual realization. Temperance, i.e. the balanced management of Life taking all things in moderation, is the means of maintaining steady progress during humanity's long Search through Limitations of material existence for eventual Transformation into Divine Beings of Light. The Angel is symbolic of the next evolutionary Stage and the Sun signification (Astrological hieroglyph) on this figure's forehead indicates the Origin of our solar system and Earth, as understood Spiritually as well as physically. The Square on her breast area is indicative of the Four Elements in stabilized formation (Fire, Air, Water, and Earth) and the Triangle within it shows the threefold nature of Incarnated Human Beings (Body, Soul, and Spirit). To establish perfect Balance, one needs to master the Elements through the Art of Temperance. This is the Mystical Path from humanity to Divinity. PARALLEL ARCHETYPES: Art, Fusion, Alchemy.
