Her take
I call this the alchemy card. Look at the angel pouring water between two cups, one foot on land and one in the water, completely unbothered by how impossible that should be.
The rest of her read
Where Temperance lands on the Fool's Journey, what its number does to a spread, how it reads next to another Major versus next to a court card, and what changes when it shows up upside down. Every one of the 78 has this, written once, in her voice.

The teaching
When it lands reversed
This is the library entry, the card on its own. In a reading she reads Temperance against the cards around it, its position, and your question, and that's where the actual story turns up. No card means one thing every time.
