Temperance urges you to pursue success through balance and moderation. Avoid rash decisions or extreme solutions, as well as timidity or excessive smugness.

the mockingbird, mary oliver

• all summer
• the mockingbird
• in his pearl-gray coat
• and his white-windowed wings
• flies
• from the hedge to the top of the pine
• and begins to sing, but it's neither
• lilting nor lovely,
• for he is the thief of other sounds —
• whistles and truck brakes and dry hinges
• plus all the songs
• of other birds in his neighborhood;
• mimicking and elaborating,
• he sings with humor and bravado
• so i have to wait a long time
• for the softer voice of his own life
• to come through. he begins
• by giving up all his usual flutter
• and settling down on the pine's forelock
