Snow
Snow represents purity, stillness, and the covering or concealment of what lies beneath. Fresh snow suggests new beginnings and a clean slate. Melting snow indicates the thawing of emotions or the revelation of hidden truths. Being trapped in snow reflects emotional numbness or isolation. Snowfall can be peaceful (gentle transformation) or threatening (blizzard, burial).
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.
