Garden and Dog in Lenormand
Garden is community; Dog is loyalty. Read in that order, the pair says: loyal friends and trusted company.
Reading Garden + Dog
Garden contributes the social circle, the open and public side of the matter. Dog brings loyalty, trust and dependable support, so the crowd narrows into the few who actually hold steady. This pair shows up as reliable friends or a colleague who proves worth leaning on, and it strengthens the case for asking the network for help. Affection here is faithful rather than romantic, though it can warm into it.
How the order works
Garden comes first and supplies the subject: the public and community. Dog comes second and modifies it: supported loyally. Together: The public and community supported loyally.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Dog + Garden begins with loyalty and support and ends with out in the open — A wide social circle of friends
