It can be stepping out to an event where useful ties are made, the start of work among a group of newcomers, or the launch of a project shown to the public right away. The Garden advises using your contacts and announcing a young venture where it will be seen. The cards sit well with work involving children in a group, such as a nursery teacher or an organizer of children's parties. In finances the combination speaks of small means tied to society: a shared pool, a group budget, income from an event.
Reverse Order
If the Garden comes first, the leading theme becomes society, while the Child only refines it as young or tied to children. Then the accent is on the crowd itself: a circle of newcomers, an event for children, a society that is only forming and getting acquainted. In our order it is the other way around, the venture leads and society arrives as its backdrop and a field for acquaintances.
