Great receptivity attracts exceptional results. The receptive brings success through perseverance and responsive service, rather than through bold action. Thus, the wise person is strong but yielding, like a powerful but gentle mare. This is a rare and auspicious reading, friend. The receptive force is rich with potential, but can be destroyed by too much talk and planning. When spring comes, must the grass “plan” to grow?
The time has come to concentrate on realities rather than potentials -- with how to respond to a situation rather than how to direct it. The symbol of a mare is used to signify this calm and supportive nature. A good mare lets herself be guided, and tolerates the burdens that are put upon her. In this way, her quiet contribution is significant, and brings success.
