Divinatory meaning
Story - I follow a stream until I come upon a figure with wings upon its back, perfectly balanced with one foot on a rock and the other in water. It has a chalice in each hand and seems to be taking its time pouring a burning liquid into water from one to the other in perfect co-ordination. 'You need to mix all five elements with perfect precision for this process to work' It says 'you need to take time and care with all that you do to maintain perfect harmony'. I watch how it maintains this process until the time is right to move on.
Upright - Combination. Co-operation. Co-ordination. Innovation through combination. Diplomacy. Successful Negotiations. Maturity in dealing with certain matters. A placid, balanced temperament and good outlook. Meaning literally, temperance in the sense of harmony and balance. good management.
Ill Dignified or Reversed - Imbalance. Volatility. Poor judgement. fickle decisions. Conflicting interests. Physical stress. Disagreements. Restlessness and instability. trying to combine too many or the wrong elements in too short an expanse of time.
