From the Badgers Forest Tarot, the Emperor; from the Gemstone Oracle, Leopard Skin Jasper:
Obedience keeps the rules. Love knows when to break them.
―Anthony de Mello
The bear - standing on his hind legs with his claws prominent - is a more aggressive form of the Emperor. This fellow believes he has a lock on what is right and how things should be done. His rules and laws are meant to keep things orderly and running smoothly like a machine. But humans are not mechanical robots. Leopard Skin Jasper encourages meeting one's basic needs and improving one's circumstances. Laws that don't take into account people's mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs aren't going to work well for long. The 'parts' require care and attention if the whole is to function properly.
