Upright
An angel pours water between two cups, one foot on land, one in the stream — patient mixing rather than a sudden mix. Upright, Temperance favours the slow, steady middle path over any extreme.
Reversed
Reversed: excess in one direction, or impatience that skips the blending process entirely.
