Ever wondered why at times we have both illuminating revelations of ourselves usually at a time of extreme challenging obstacles. Almost like, through some kind of hardship, we are being pushed into an awareness of something else that perhaps was ultimately better for us?
Citrinitas is the wise old man (or woman) archetype; and rubedo is the Self archetype which has achieved wholeness. “The Yellowing” is a pivotal stage of Jungian psychology where the individuation process becomes more present. We start to unravel and gain insights into our inner selves and the impact on our relationships.
When we are struggling the most with unresolved conflicts, shadow aspects of ourselves, disrupted relational dynamics and change, usually deep personal and relational growth is just around the corner. Don’t give up, when it gets hard, keep pushing through, you will come out the other side with more self-awareness and know that whatever was presenting was pushing you to something more.
