How to Discover Your Shadow Side Using the Destiny Matrix Analysis?
Everyone has a shadow side, but some people show it while others carefully hide it. But what is the “shadow side” really? How can you discover your “shadow sides”? What happens if you don’t work on your “shadow”?
In this article, we will closely examine this question and apply the destiny matrix system and the “22 Arcanas” method to find and work on the shadow side. Below, we also provide a list of the shadow sides of each of the 22 energies.
What is the “Shadow Side”?
The shadow side is a set of negative energies of a personality that a person has due to unresolved karmic tasks. Everyone has shadow sides of their personality, but they manifest differently for everyone. Why does this happen?
Firstly, the manifestation of shadow sides is influenced by the set of energies in a person’s destiny matrix. This can be explained by the fact that each of the 22 arcanas has a set of both positive and negative qualities.
Secondly, each person’s degree of working through the destiny matrix is unique. The more aspects of the matrix that are worked through, the less the shadow side will manifest.
How Does the Manifestation of the Shadow Side Affect a Person’s Life?
The shadow side has a strong influence on the personality and will undoubtedly affect both the internal feelings of a person and their manifestation in society. Some people accept the negative aspects of their personality and are not ashamed to show them, but on the other hand, there are others who try to hide their negative sides.
Specifically, in the aforementioned case, it is much better when a person recognizes their shadow and accepts it rather than deceiving themselves and others. And to be honest, it should be said that our shadow sides often help us achieve our desired goals.
Is It Necessary to Work on the “Shadow Side” in a Person’s Destiny Matrix?
It is necessary to work on the shadow side in the destiny matrix in any case, as this work unlocks a huge resource of strength in a person and helps achieve all set goals.
Our shadow sides are under the patronage of the Swadhisthana – the chakra of pleasures. In other words: the temptations we succumb to are our shadow sides. Working through the shadow sides gives a person a sense of satisfaction with life and teaches them to truly enjoy it.
