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.
Today, the mix I must get right is a balance of work, exercise, study, shopping and, if I can, editing a video I recorded yesterday. Plus spending time with my family. If I get the right balance, it'll feel like I've had a productive, positive day :)
I am grateful for having a varied life.
