Castle
Castles represent grand ambitions, defense mechanisms, and the fortified self. A magnificent castle may symbolize aspirations for greatness, while a castle under siege reflects feeling attacked or defensive. Exploring a castle suggests discovering the many rooms of your psyche. A castle on a hill represents elevated goals and the effort required to reach them. A crumbling castle suggests that defenses are no longer serving you.
Sun
The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
