Traditional reading
Chasing down and catching prey is seen as obtaining the goal you were aiming for and winning a competition. The bigger the animal, the bigger the achievement. But losing your prey and wandering around means you should rein in your ambitions and narrow your target.
Through the heart
Hunting is the energy of actively going after what you want. It reveals a strong will to achieve something, or, on the flip side, tension in a competitive situation.
