Card combination

The Hierophant and Temperance

Five and fourteen reduce to the same digit, and the octave is unusually neat: both cards mediate between things. The Hierophant stands between a person and a tradition; Temperance stands between two quantities and adjusts. The pair is about the work of holding a middle.
