What Are These Mysterious Things Called The Anima And The Animus?
Part 5
by Nancy R. Fenn

Lacking proper instruction in this, Jung explains, the modern man moves this projection from Mother to Wife.

He continues, "Under the cloak of the ideally exclusive marriage he is really seeking his mother's protection, and thus he plays into the hands of his wife's possessive instincts. His fear of the dark incalculable power of the unconscious gives his wife an illegitimate authority over him, and forges such a dangerously close union that the marriage is permanently on the brink of explosion from internal tension-or else, out of protest, he flies to the other extreme, with the same results."

It would be during a Venus retrograde transit that these internal tensions would be most likely to become explosive. It is their urge to become conscious during the time Venus is traveling through the Underworld.

Jung explains that the anima comes between [a man and his wife] like a jealous mistress who tries to alienate the man from his family.... [If] that happens, he will eventually ask himself, "What is the anima doing here, when it alienates a man from his own family, his wife and children?"

Jung continues, "Our first thought is that the man of honour [i.e., the man with the great outward persona, business reputation, etc.] is on the lookout for another woman. That might be -- it might even be arranged by the anima as the most effective means to the desired end. Such an arrangement should not be misconstrued as an end in itself, for the blameless gentleman who is correctly married according to the law can be just as correctly divorced according to the law, which does not alter his fundamental attitude one iota. The old picture has merely received a new frame."

Becoming whole or "one", individuated..

The call to war after the inferior conjunction of Venus with the Sun might bring forth the dead and one may be recalled to times in the past when rejection and emotional pain conspired to erect an emotional fortress which for current circumstances might be quite inappropriate.

THE NEGATIVE ANIMA IN A MAN

This gospeis according to Marie Louise von Franz: "In its individual manifestation the character of a man's anima is as a rule shaped by his mother. If he feels that his mother had a negative influence on him, his anima will often express itself in irritable, depressed moods, uncertainty, insecurity, and touchiness.... Within the soul of such a man the negative mother -- anima figure will endlessly repeat this theme:

I am nothing.
Nothing makes any sense.
With others it's different,
but for me ... I enjoy nothing.
