In mythology, butterflies were the expression of the human soul. In ancient Greece, for example, people believed that after death their soul would turn into a butterfly or a dove.

Other legends say that butterflies are angels with petals of flowers or flowers that have caught wings after their prayer expressed to God to reach the sky.

The black background represents the darkness that surrounds you and prevents you from expressing your thoughts and feelings like a prison of your mind and body. Your choice of a butterfly can help you escape the darkness find the light in your life.

Look carefully at the 9 butterflies in the picture below and choose one, the one you like the most. Below the picture below, you will find the answer to the choice you made.

BUTTERFLY NO. 1 – THE SYMBOL OF RESTRICTIONS

If you chose the first butterfly, you probably noticed that its upper wings are color-coded in another color. That means you are not a fully free person and you want to express this at this and every other moment. Someone or something prevents you from expressing your thoughts verbally all the time.

This is one of the most painful problems you face: the fact that you fail to integrate and express yourself properly, as someone always interrupts you and that your ideas are not received properly or not even heard.

BUTTERFLY NO. 2 – THE SYMBOL OF DUALITY AND CONFUSION

You are eternally caught between two worlds, between the hammer and the anvil. You can hardly decide on anything in your life. You are always confronted with situations where you are caught between two friends who don’t like each other and you can’t give up any of them or choose one of them.

What you want to say to everyone is that you are not a fake person and you want to have the ability to integrate different things into your life and to get along with completely different people without having to make the tough choices in life.

BUTTERFLY NO. 3 – THE SYMBOL OF TEMPTATIONS

If you have chosen the number 3, you are the person who has it difficult to start a diet, give up his vices or start new things in life or make some life changes for the better. What you ask from others in the most honest way is to help you get rid of all these problems installed in your brain, these temptations that in time become your main enemy.

BUTTERFLY NO. 4 – THE SYMBOL OF SECRETS DEEP DOWN IN YOURSELF

You hide a very big secret about your life. You’ve done something in the past that you’re ashamed of, or you just have a frustration that can never tell anyone. This big lie is eating you from the inside, but you are too afraid to reveal it. You need to find the courage to reveal your biggest secret to enjoy a life of peace and quiet.

BUTTERFLY NO. 5 – THE SYMBOL OF SEXUALITY AND UNEXPRESSED LOVE

Your big problem is the fear of expressing your feelings about the person you love. You fall in love without anyone noticing it. You hold those feelings inside yourself tight, and when the one you love is approaching you, you ignore her because of your shyness. Once you find the courage to express those feelings and finally approach the one you love you will find happiness in your life.

BUTTERFLY NO. 6 – THE SYMBOL OF THE MISUNDERSTOOD ARTIST

You are attracted to the world of art and you are passionate about making creative things. You know how to express yourself through painting, music or writing, but others never understand what you are trying to say through your art. You use too many coded messages, abstract things, too many thick tusks and too much mystery. Sometimes even you don’t understand what you actually want to express, and you risk falling into the trap of the philosopher who is unintelligible and misunderstood.

BUTTERFLY NO. 7 – THE SYMBOL OF SINCERITY AND HONESTY

You are a very honest person, sometimes brutally honest. You don’t know how to lie and you don’t like to hide anything from those around you, except in situations where you have committed a big mistake that you may be punished in a way you won’t like.

BUTTERFLY NO. 8 – THE SYMBOL OF PERFECTION

You chose this butterfly because you want to be perfect. You are constantly struggling to look as good as possible to react as promptly as possible to make beautiful projects, etc. You are a very conscious person when it comes to work and relationships with friends.

What you want to say is that perfection exists and can be achieved, even if there are a million things that bother you and you will keep on trying to achieve perfection no matter the cost.

BUTTERFLY NO. 9 – THE BOSS SYMBOL

If you chose the number 9, you are a person who likes to have full control of the situations. You want people to do everything you ask, to respond promptly to questions, to work for your interest. You always act like the boss even when you are not or when you are just around your friends and that’s why they often avoid you. Try to be little bit more humble in your life and your acts and people will respect you more and you will live a happier life.
