Animus
The inner masculine as a psychological image—how a woman (or a more “feminine” stance) relates to clarity, assertion, and spirit.
The animus appears as figures of voice, opinion, spirit, or conviction—not as a literal man, but as the psyche’s way of developing discernment and directed energy. It can show up as inner criticism, inspiration, or a guiding “word.”
In readings, animus language often points to standing in truth, naming reality, or claiming intellectual and spiritual authority.
