If Opossum has turned up in your cards, you are being asked to use strategy in some present situation. Rely upon your instincts for the best way out of a tight corner. If you have to pretend to be apathetic or unafraid, do it! Oftentimes, if you refuse to struggle or show how hurtful words bother you, your taunter will see no further fun in the game. Warriors have used Oppossum medicine for centuries, playing dead when the enemy nears and outnumbers them. Then, in a flash, the war cry is heard when the enemy is least expecting it. The fright of this serves to confuse the unsuspecting opposition further. Victory is sweet when the strategy is one of mental and physical prowess.
Opossum may tell you that you are to expect the unexpected and be clever in achieving victory. This could be a victory over a bothersome salesman or a nosey neighbor. In essence, Opossum is beckoning you to use your brain, your sense of drama, and surprise- to leap over some barrier to your progress.
