The Gathering Dove likes to keep things pleasant and orderly. With masculine energy that’s slightly more intense than that of the Tending Dove, she’s the more structured Dove.
At heart, she’s like the goddess Hegemone, who makes plants flourish and flowers bloom. Queen Elizabeth II of England, patroness of many charities, is a good example of this type.
Her natural strength is making things nice.
The Gathering Dove is kind and gentle, and keeps households, offices, and partnerships running smoothly. Her house or apartment is a cozy, comfortable haven for friends and family.
Because she observes standards to support the order she holds dear, some might think she’s a prig. She’s not, of course, she just likes consistency and calm. In a culture where increasingly anything goes, she represents much-needed propriety.
What matters most to her is peace and plenty.
The Gathering Dove’s place will contain nice things, and quite a few of them—she’s a gatherer, after all. There may be art or antlers on the wall, china in cabinets, things that reflect the character of her and her family.
When she’s out of the house, she likes to be in parks, museums, libraries, small shops, and other such places. There the pace is slow, the atmosphere is quiet, and beautiful things are in evidence.
She likes a supporting role.
The Gathering Dove’s eyes will convey a warm glow. She likes to be at home, but women of her type often do charitable work out in the world, such as helping at the hospital, or in a museum.
Her personal style will be classic, and she’ll favor floral motifs. She might say, “A place for everything, and everything in its place,” or, “Won’t you come in for a cup of tea?”
