Living and working with Druze and having Druze friends, I find that very interesting. The Druze are very secretive about their beliefs and won't tell others much about it. But everybody knows they believe in reincarnation.
I'm not sure about the connection to Temperance though. The Druze parable is about acknowledging that the soul can find a new home in another body. The vessels are the body, the liquid is the soul. The soul doesn't change when it reincarnates in a new body.
In Temperance, the situation is different and the symbols work differently. In the (link to forum removed by Moderator) traditional emblem, water is diluted with wine, and water enriched with wine. Both change their character.
In the tarot, it's one liquid that changes while travelling against the laws of nature from one vessel to the other.
So yes, if we see this liquid as the soul, it travels, and it also changes. As far as I know, in the Druze religion, the belief is that the soul remains unchanged.
But it's certainly very interesting. I find the Druze culture fascinating.
