Don't Scratch

From Hadar's Le Veritable Tarot de Marseille, the Page of Cups; from the Greek Rune Tiles, Tau:

The Page of Cups is curious about emotions and how they affect others. He's always willing to lend a compassionate ear, but being a sensitive sort of fellow, he's wary of causing another person pain. This Page has removed the lid from his cup, yet he uses his cloak to cover it, allowing what's in it to breathe. Even at his age, he understands he has a duty to protect what others show him in their hearts, knowing the feelings of others should never be fodder for social gossip. He'd make a great therapist one day. Tau was used in ancient times as a symbol of life (Cross of Tau) and was adopted by St. Francis of Assisi as his personal coat of arms. As St. Francis was committed to the welfare of all beings, it represents devotion and personal sacrifice. Sometimes holding a secret creates an itch to share it with another, but true trustworthiness requires us to put the other's feelings before our own. Trust might be hard to win, but it's even harder to get back once it's lost.
