sq ZEUS SPIRITUAL SELF is ACTIVATED but also feels a surge of frustration and responds more forcefully than usual, saying, “I’ve done all i can now we need to move forward and cope with it.” Her tone is sharp, confident, and unyielding — qualities that surprise even her.
The Animus in Action:
What’s Happening: This is Sarah’s animus kicking in. Her unconscious masculine energy — assertiveness, logic, and a drive to stand her ground — rises to the surface in response to the challenge. It’s not her typical demeanor, but it’s a natural part of her psyche stepping forward to protect her ideas and assert her competence.
Positive Expression: If integrated, this animus moment helps Sarah advocate for herself effectively. Her use of data (intellect) and insistence (strength) convinces the team, and her proposal gets approved, boosting her confidence.
Negative Expression: If undeveloped, her animus might overreact. She could become overly argumentative, saying something like, “You never listen to me — this is why we’re stuck in the same rut!” This rigidity or defensiveness reflects an unrefined animus projecting onto others.
