Major arcana
Temperance
Temperance stands for circulation, dosing and adjustment between several elements. She looks less for compromise than for the right proportion.

The angel of Temperance pours from one vessel into another, one foot on the water, the other on the land. The transfer of the liquid fills the centre, and the two vessels stay at the same height.
A precise adjustment holds better than a break: what is measured lasts long, and two opposing forces can move forward together. The pouring goes from one vessel to the other, without jolts.
By dint of balancing, nothing gets decided: constant adjustment wears down both sides and the situation stops moving. The middle ground becomes a way of avoiding.
Symbolism TdM. Temperance. With Strength and Justice, the fourteenth card counts among the three virtues that the Marseille tradition keeps in the arcana.
Adjust through small gestures rather than one big decision. Seek the right proportion, even if you have to correct later, and check that this balance stays alive.
