The limit of greed
A note from Melaap
Greed only hits its breaking point when we can no longer pay the interest
In the Five of Swords, even with both hands full, one still revels.
Never mind if it will all be used.
Never mind the interest to be paid.
For in that moment, satisfaction overflows.

Reversed Temperance signals imbalance: excess, overcorrection, or swinging between extremes. You may be stuck in all-or-nothing patterns. Returning to the middle path is the first healing step.
You may be chasing spiritual extremes or constantly switching methods, which scatters energy. Choose one aligned practice and stay with it long enough.
There may be mismatch: one runs hot, the other cold, or expectations are misaligned. Clarify needs instead of assuming. Reduce extremes, increase steady communication rhythm. You may face process fragmentation, misalignment, or speed pushed beyond system capacity. Recalibrate cadence before scaling. Do not scale unstable operations.
