These archetypes shape myths, stories, and even our personal journeys. But did you know that these archetypes align closely with the symbols and energies of astrology?

Jung’s concept of the Anima (feminine) and Animus (masculine) energies aligns with the Moon and Sun, representing the balance of intuition and consciousness within us.
