Part One - The Major Arcana - 14

New decks!
This is one of my problem cards: I am never too sure about the meaning of the word, even. It reminds me of Justice and the angel in the Lovers and I guess it is about keeping things in balance.
As usual, the Guilded Temperance seems to be associated to a certain planet (Ciro must be quite bent on astrology) and seems to be floating in mid air and hardly holding her cups. The golden cup spews fire as well as water, something I had not come across yet: cooling our passions or letting them flow?
Llewellyn's is very interesting because the whole figure is submerged and looks like a mermaid, although it also reminds me of a recent thread about nagas. I find this card speaks to me more than the others do.
Universal is back to its fairytale settings with the water flowing from flower to flower.
Sunshine from the islands of eternal spring ;)
Well this is one of the cards I don't really understand!!!!
I don't like it's called temperance...I'd like it best if it was called
Harmony :smt004
Anyway this card scares me somehow! An angel with red wings??? :smt087
I think this picture tells us that the balance is the secret of how
to get to the road that takes you to the sun
(the sun for me always means the best:happiness,justice,warmth etc).
Really confusing this card...I don't know if it's a positive or a negative one..
Perhaps I would feel better if the wings were white and the angel was smiling...
Anyway beside my personal little problems with this picture I guess there's a good message in it!
Still too difficult to understand it perfectly...

XIV Tempreance
On card, I see: new life, flowing, filling a cup (fulfillment), peace
I feel, peace. Nothing disturbing me even though life (nature) goes on around me. I am perfectly calm.
Remain centered no matter what the circumstance? Adjust to changing /rushing times and environments.
