The Hidden Traits, Unspoken Fears, and Inner Darkness We All Carry
Every zodiac sign has two sides:
the light we show the world… and the shadow we hide.
Your shadow side is not “bad.”
It is the part of you that carries:
- your wounds
- your fears
- your emotional triggers
- your survival patterns
- your unhealed stories
Understanding your shadow is the first step to healing, self-awareness, and real transformation.
