Mice and Bear in Lenormand
Mice is loss; Bear is power. Read in that order, the pair says: savings and strength slowly draining.
Reading Mice + Bear
Mice indicates steady loss and stress, while Bear adds power, resources and stamina, so the drain is happening to something substantial: savings, a strong backer's support, or physical reserves. In money or health, a large reserve can hide gradual erosion until fatigue or a shrinking account makes the depletion plain; the worry is that strength is being spent faster than it is replaced.
How the order works
Mice comes first and supplies the subject: loss and stress. Bear comes second and modifies it: backed by strength. Together: Loss and stress backed by strength.
Swap them and the sentence changes. Bear + Mice begins with power and resources and ends with eroding away — Resources slowly draining away
