The tradition reads the pair as measured judgement applied to something moving very fast, and treats it as the ideal response rather than the likely one.

In love

Associated with keeping proportion while a situation accelerates. Read as maturity under pressure.

In career

Rapid developments handled without overcorrecting. Frequently read where the temptation is to react to each one.

The advice

Temperance blends rather than chooses. Nothing in this pair needs an immediate answer, which is the hardest thing to believe while the staves are in the air.
