The Temperance

The Path of Sagittarius

The path of integration and the alchemical blending of opposites. Samekh is the support or prop — the structural element that holds the tent upright. Temperance pours between two vessels, mixing fire and water, conscious and unconscious, spirit and matter. To walk this path is to discover that the self (Tiphareth) and the foundation of the psyche (Yesoid) are connected by the act of continuous, patient integration. Nothing is wasted; every experience is poured from one vessel to another until the mixture achieves its proper balance.

If This Path Is Yours

When Sagittarius rules a placement in your chart, the Temperance path is alive in you. You are being asked to mix what most people keep separate — to be the vessel where opposites meet and become a third thing neither could have been alone.
