The more domestic dove, the Tending Dove loves to tend to “her people.” With masculine energy that’s slightly less intense than that of the Gathering Dove, she’s a bit quieter.
At heart, she’s like Hestia, the goddess of home and hearth. Lady Bird Johnson, a president’s wife who helped beautify and preserve the nation’s shared spaces, is a good example of this type.
Her natural strength is caring for others.
The themes of the Tending Dove’s life are nurturing, healing, and caring for others. She may be a homemaker. If she works, she probably works in a “caring” profession, such as providing day care for small children.
Because she’s domestically inclined, she may seem uninteresting to some people. Her gentle energy, however, gives her the ability to restore others, body and spirit. At her best, her aspect is that of a ministering angel.
What matters most to her is a healthy family.
The Tending Dove may mention that she loves holidays, because that’s when the whole family gathers at her house. It’s at her house where they gather, because that’s where everyone feels most comfortable.
She likes caring for children, and prefers to do that in her own house and yard. She provides them with a calm, supportive environment where they feel safe and taken care of.
She has a gentle aspect.
The Tending Dove has kind eyes. She’s probably petite. Her speech is quiet, her movements are measured. The dresses she wears are pretty, and flowing instead of revealing.
She may tend a backyard garden with ornamental plants in it. When she cooks, it’s usually family recipes. She might say, “My chicken soup will cure what ails you,” or, “The rose bushes are beautiful this year.”
