- xiv. temperance.
- temperance can be given to extremes — of self-righteousness and self-contempt, of anger and pity, of action and lethargy, of asceticism and license. he can be self-involved, lazy, sloppy, and given to fantasies of personal greatness.
- adaptable, restless, volatile, quick to anger, freedom-loving, and drawn to philosophical abstraction.
- v. heirophant.
- unintegrated and imperfectly realized, the hierophant can be intolerant, inflexible and hypocritical, concerned with form instead of essence, permitting vice while forbidding heresy, exchanging the inner kingdom for a personal following.
- rooted, steady, slow to anger, simultaneously loyal and jealous, appreciator of true value.
- temperance and the hierophant share a passionate nature, a concern for purity of intention and action, faith in personal evolution and perfectability. both are impatient with wrong-doing and lack of effort.
- free-thinking vs. traditional.
- explosive effort vs. steady progress.
- warrior vs. academic.
