Eternal, your Alchemical analogy is nearly identical to the way I have both understood and experienced it.

First, "Temperance" in the tarot card is an well-known double-entendre for the tempering of steel. The crystallization of this archetype for me coincided with discovering this old Chinese quote on the day of the Venus transit:

"Only with tempering is steel produced"

Translates to me as maintenance of the flame of experience with care and patience until the given the crystallization point is reached and steel is produced.
