Garden and Tower in Lenormand

Reading Garden + Tower

The subject is the public arena, and the qualifier makes it formal. Garden sets the scene in community and open dealings; Tower adds institution, authority and boundaries, so what looked informal becomes official and somewhat distant. In practice this reads as a large organisation, a council, a bank or a regulator involved with a group matter, where rules and paperwork matter more than friendliness and everything is kept at arm's length.

How the order works

Garden comes first and supplies the subject: the public and community. Tower comes second and modifies it: formal and distant. Together: The public and community formal and distant.

Swap them and the sentence changes. Tower + Garden begins with an institution or isolation and ends with out in the open — A public-facing institution
