The Lay of the Land

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Prince (Knight) of Pentacles; from the Druid Animal Oracle, the 'Cow:'

          The Prince/Knight of Pentacles is dependable, practical and steady. Some might think of him as lacking in ambition, but he actually just knows how to be patient, plan, and work realistically toward his goal. He might not be as adventurous (or impulsive) as his knight cousins, but if you're looking for someone to do you a solid, he's your man because he'll remember the promise and follow through on it. Worthington chose to illustrate the Cow with a breed from Scotland - a Highland cow. Bred to endure the harsh Scottish environment, they have an outer layer of long, oily hair that sheds precipitation and a downy, inner layer that insulates them against the cold. Their horns make excellent tools for digging under snow and ice to find plants to eat. It is well suited for where it was raised, suggesting that being aware of the requirements for a particular environment is important. Even a great plan won't succeed if it doesn't consider the setting and atmosphere in which it is taking place. Know the lay of the land before beginning.
