The Full Moon's Dance: Light Revealing Shadow Through Jungian Eyes
The Shadow Self
Carl Jung taught that self-knowledge arises by integrating the conscious self with the hidden shadow—the parts of us we often deny or fear.
Lunar Illumination
The Full Moon's illumination mirrors this process: it reveals what's hidden in our psyche, inviting us to face fears and embrace authenticity.
Warrior Archetype
Aries energy encourages us to courageously confront our inner blocks, embodying the warrior archetype Jung described as essential for individuation.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." — Carl Jung
