Themes from this episode:

• The unconscious uses masculine and feminine characters and imagery to communicate with us about different parts of our personality.
• Everyone, regardless of gender, has masculine and feminine aspects of their psyche that they can use at different times when needed.

• The unconscious constantly uses the masculine/feminine dichotomy to symbolize opposite forces inside us, because it’s such a well-known pair of opposites that we see in external relationships where people balance and complete each other.

• Feminine/yin/lunar characteristics:

  • Feeling, sensing
  • Appreciating beauty
  • Connection and relatedness
  • Soul, imagination, interiority
  • Slower pace, time for reflection, being (rather than doing)

• Masculine/yang/solar characteristics:

  • Thinking and organizing, order and reason
  • Action and doing
  • Analyzing
  • Differentiating, classifying, making boundaries
  • Competing
  • Aggression and power
