Had a visitor to the garden today

🦋🦋🦋

Tiger Swallowtail butterflies are meant to remind us to honour and reconnect with our natural rhythm.

🦋🦋🦋

The female Tiger Swallowtail butterflies are the ones who adorn the silvery blue crescents at the bottom of each back wing, lending to the powerful draw women feel towards the moon; and how all genders have the ability to balance between the solar (masculine/proactive) and lunar (feminine/intuitive) aspects of ones self.

🦋🦋🦋

Although it’s important to push oneself, it’s also equally if not more important to be self aware enough to know when to do so. The Tiger Swallowtail butterfly is meant to remind us of the need to take time to rest and find work/play/self balance.

🦋🦋🦋

When thinking about the Solar and Lunar in terms of colour, the yellow represents the sun; vitality, enlightenment, joy and intellect. While black symbolizes the night; rest, dreams, intuition and regeneration.

🦋🦋🦋

When a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly comes into your path, take a moment to appreciate the balance this butterfly represents and stop and smell a flower and ground and reconnect with yourself.

What is your body trying to tell you?
