18. Horse

freedom, regality, confidence, strength

Unsure of how to break out of your cage, spirit shares strength through acts of liberation.

Horses are meant to be wild and free, which is why they are such powerful creatures that are capable of running for long distances and over different terrain. It's not uncommon to hear tales of having to 'break' a horse when attempting to domesticate a wild one. How sad it must be for a horse to go from roaming endless landscapes to being confined to a small box inside a barn. If a horse remains bound for long enough it may fail to see when the opportunity presents itself to run back into the wild.

When the Horse card gallops into your reading it could be a sign that your spirit is broken and you have lost your sense of regality and strength. You may feel stuck, stagnant, bored or stuck in a rut, unsure of how to break out of your cage to find more passion and excitement. Dig deep and reconnect with your sense of freedom. Remove the shoulds and supposed to dos from your perspective and follow your heart and instincts. The beauty about being free is that you can change your mind: if you go one way and find that doesn't work simply shift directions and try something else, never apologizing for not being caged.
