Latin, fem., "soul." The unconscious,
feminine side of a man's personality. She is personified in dreams by images of women
ranging in nature from harlot and seductress to divine Wisdom and spiritual guide. She is
the Eros principle in men. Identification
with the anima causes a man to become moody and resentful. Projection
of the anima accounts for a man's falling in love. A man's anima
development is reflected in how he relates to others.*
