Mental Image Reading for Skysoaring
(Now that I'm not choking on my glass of water, I can sit down and do this reading. Paid readings are open, free requests are not.)
Tw for gore, animal injury.
I see many rectangles of moving images, like viewing multiple TV screens at once. When I ask to see the truth for the querent, it zooms in on a TV screen in the middle, and I am in the plains of Africa.
The landscape is wide, flat, and grassy, no trees in sight. A hazy blue sky, a mix of olive green and browns of grasses. I am in fact hiding in a patch of long olive colored grasses; a flash of an image shows I am a lionness. Or, rather, viewing from the eyes of a lionness.
There is a zebra foal, alone. It is approaching a shallow, muddy watering hole, about 35 feet ahead to my right. It walks slowly; it is young. I sense it might be male. It is limping a little, favoring its right hind leg. It brays for its herd, its eyes swiveling around. It seems to be lost.
It approaches the watering hole, leaning down to drink. A previously unseen crocodile rears up and snaps at the foal; the foal leaps back, braying loudly, and for a moment, I think it's made it away. But then the lionness leaps out.
I watch, from the lionness's eyes, as she rushes forward, sealing the distance between her and the foal in under three seconds. The foal was still so focused on the alligator it does not try to dart until too late, braying and screaming as the lionness tackles it to the ground. She sinks her teeth into its other hind leg, the left one, tearing it open. Pink flesh and tendons, red blood.
The view zooms out. Somehow, the zebra foal gets up and breaks away from the lionness, running desperately, its left hind leg bouncing around uselessly. Somehow it's bounding on three legs, even though its right hind leg is lame too. And for whatever reason, the lionness does not pursue it when it escapes. She watches, with a sense of mild surprise, disappointment, and apathy. But once the foal threatens to disappear from view, she gets up and gives chase.
The foal stops at the edge of a rocky, sandy cliff, a wide gorge and a magnificent multi-tiered waterfall hundreds of feet below. The lionness is fast approaching, and even though the torn left hind leg is barely attached (it is facing backwards now,) the foal doesn't hesitate before leaping off the cliff.
Its little striped body tumbles and flips in the air, completely in freefall. A rainbow shines over the waterfall and river as it hits the water, about ten to twelve seconds after its initial leap.
As soon as it touches the water, the view changes to underwater. The foal transformed into a mermaid-type creature, a woman with pale green skin, long elfy ears with leaf-life fronds on the tips; long green hair, and a green scaled tail with many small fins. When she surfaces the water, seemingly unharmed, she looks back at the cliff with worry. Her skin and appearance change color and pattern like that of an octopus. As she dives back underwater, her skin, hair, and tail are becoming white with black stripes.
The view swivels to watch her swim away downstream, away from the waterfall, towards what looks like the horizon of an ocean.
Wow, what a lot of symbolism we have here. As with all readings, some symbols may have a different meaning entirely for each individual person - so my best guess at an interpretation is just that, a guess open for interpretation.
The foal seems to represent the querant, in a way. Feeling lost, abandoned, or underprepared; not ready for the tasks ahead. Already dealing with some sort of personal anchor that makes everything that much harder (the lame right hind leg.) A small, temporary problem (the crocodile) terrifies and distracts from a much bigger problem (the lionness,) which ends up causing greater damage and greater desperation for a solution. BUT, it also brings out an incredible strength, courage, and will to live, which is what ultimately saves the zebra. Its terror and adrenaline is what keeps it alive, instead of freezing or giving up.
The jump off the cliff is an absolute last resort, and a scary one. It is the only way out of the problem, but it is very nerve-wracking and hard to do. But somehow, the foal survives, and transforms into a powerful, intelligent creature, no longer the lost little adolescent it once was. For whatever miraculous reason, the freefall is a transformation.
