Moderation
On the card, Moderation means “to avoid excesses and find a middle ground”. On Even Over’s map of values, it is in the area called Humility: seeing yourself as a small part of something much larger. That area sits on a boundary between two sides of the map.
How it was placed
The word has one clear link to this value and overlaps with others. Avoiding excess and finding a middle ground echoes the self-restraint humility describes. The placement is our own and provisional.

Values it can pull against
Moderation sits on a boundary, so no side of the map is directly across from it. It can still collide with other values when time, money or attention is short.
