3How does Ace of Cups and Temperance read for blending families or cultures?

4What moderation mistake shows up with this pair?
Diluting feeling until nothing tastes — endless compromise that kills spark. Temperance is blend, not erase. Keep one non-negotiable passion while negotiating the rest. If every date is 'fine' and never electric, you over-corrected. Add ace heat back in measured doses.
