31 THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Responsibility for the world, creator and nature, care and protection, caring for the weak and dependent, right of stewardship.

Taurus/Capricorn

Venus/Saturn

Beloved + Elder

The natural essence of the Beloved/Taurus combines with the mind and life knowledge of the Sage/Capricorn. Natural essence plus reason. A person who has worked through their soul and begins to subtly feel the surrounding world.

All living beings are children to him. He is responsible for those he has tamed. He spiritualizes nature. His main focus is wise care for the surrounding world (Francis of Assisi). He bears responsibility before nature.

Raises questions of ecology. This person is a typical donor. The card symbolizes wise care for the surrounding world and responsibility before nature. Often it is connected with ecological issues.

Monk - donor

Wisdom, care, responsibility, decency

Negligence, self-assertion at the expense of the weak, sin of pride, limitation through excessive care

A person will take responsibility upon themselves this day. The theme of animals is possible.

Care for people, your work, the environment - everything that depends on you and requires your attention will flow easily and without tension. Today is a time for giving, for feeling your connection to the surrounding world.

Without care and support, beings dependent on us may simply not survive. Service to higher ideals ennobles the human soul.

Today you can learn to care for those who are weaker.

If someone in your circle needs help, care, and support - provide it to them.

Desire to care, to give. A person spreads their inner harmony into the surrounding world. In the negative - self-assertion at the expense of the weak (working with disabled people).

Inner freedom, voluntary responsibility. Compassion, feeling of unity with the world. A person justly believes that in everything happening around them, there is also a share of their participation. The Good Shepherd speaks of inner freedom, voluntary responsibility.

Everything necessary is already available to the person.

Slow, careful, not disturbing a certain equilibrium. Cultivation, guardianship.

Unequal partnership, pity, condescension. One partner finds it advantageous to be in the role of a sheep in the Shepherd's arms. Harmony and care dominate here, but sometimes there can be excessive guardianship. One must not forget that sometimes pity humiliates.

There may be an age difference in the union, a difference in life experience. The card speaks of care, responsibility, and condescension from one partner - who may not be older, but simply more mature.

One cannot see only those in need in others. Pity humiliates. Sin of pride. One should avoid 'imbalance' toward asceticism, or the so-called consciousness of poverty may manifest - 'we are poor but proud'.

Moreover, one cannot undervalue their own work out of fear of responsibility.

In your circle there are people, affairs, etc., that you should care for; you must take part of the responsibility for them upon yourself.

But remember that excessive guardianship can cause harm.

There will be results, but not too great. Everyone will be satisfied with the positive, productive outcome of efforts. The leading figure will be satisfied with modest compensation; gratitude and peace of mind from others are more important to them.

Emotional protection. A harmonious, selfless person. A nurse in a hospital. A person who does something so others will appreciate and praise them. Everything for others, nothing for themselves.

Everything you need now, you already have.
