The angel in the picture above is perfectly balancing and combining the two qualities of male and female, or positive and negative. The two energies can be spiritual and materialistic; or any two force. A will, knowledge and right means are required to blend the opposite forces in our life. The angel stands with one foot on the earth and one within the water. This is also a perfect balance of the conscious and the subconscious mind. The red wings are symbolic of the fiery desires of the spirit to learn on a higher level of consciousness and the mountains in the background represent wisdom. The triangle is the higher knowledge that is acquired through introspection as the will to learn and understand. The cups in Temperance`s hands are the functional equivalent of scales.
