Sepharial
“A dog standing over a bare bone in front of it are two others half starved.”
It denotes a person of a very selfish and jealous nature, unproductive of any good to himself and of no use to his fellows; a mere hanger-on. The disposition is indolent, but what it lacks in energy is supplied by suavity, finesse and subtlety, so that the native is never at a loss for the means to live; but buys comfort at the cheapest, price, and is often a respectable beggar. It is a degree of INDOLENCE.

“A man in a green-house, with a watering can watering some flowering shrubs.”
This denotes one whose delight will be in the study of the beautiful in Nature; who will devote time and energy to the development of the beautiful, more especially in the floral kingdom.

Kozminsky
“A laborer leaning against a tree watching a number of others digging in a neighboring”
field. Denotes one who lets others do the work which he should do for himself. He is fond of the luxuries of life, but is quite content to receive without the toil of gaining them. He can advance his own philosophy to uphold his actions, and will be supported throughout his present life on earth. It is a symbol of Inertia.
