Pegasus
I soar through the Heavens
On gossamer wings,
Aloft in the faith God is All.
Place your trust in my buoyant,
exhuberant Way,
and in Truth may you always prevail.

Our February archetype is the Idealist. An AIR energy that MAINTAINS and develops any process, the Idealist pairs nicely with this month’s Life Metaphor of life as A Long and Winding Road.
You can count on your Idealist tendencies to strengthen your motivation to achieve any worthy goal. It is an active, lifting mode; a part of you that—when in Strength—carries you forward in a transcendent, joyful way.
In my own contemplative inner adventures I often actually do encounter especially one Pegasus horse which is a beloved inner companion. She takes me on winged flights of unspeakable beauty. While I don’t necessarily see this dream Pegasus as my Idealist part-of-Self, she certainly is real and animated in my awareness and raises me to a more idealistic state of consciousness about life whenever we connect.
If in Shadow, your Idealist may feel trapped or frustrated by limitations or delays. It may help you to find a way around such apparent confinement by offering an alternate activity or route that bypasses or transcends these illusory bounds.
Remember then to listen, and to ask your Inner Idealist for guidance on your next step (or leap) to a desired destination.
How do you imagine or experience your own Idealist nature? Try answering this question and see what it might evoke for you:
