Day of becoming a butterfly
Celebrated on 19 AugustNature and its creations amaze with their uniqueness and metamorphoses - the possibility of living beings transitioning from one state to another.
An example of such a process is the transformation of an unsightly-looking caterpillar into a luxurious butterfly. Fluttering insects are associated with lightness, grace, elusive beauty and carelessness. August 19th is the Day of Transformation into a Butterfly.
A fun holiday pushes people to make drastic changes and instills faith that our possibilities are limitless. On August 19, metamorphoses are welcomed in all areas and manifestations - in appearance, communication with others, personal life and work. The day of becoming a butterfly encourages you to flutter out of the symbolic cocoon, spread your wings and boldly declare your uniqueness to the world.
Any radical change is associated with fear, the risk of failure, or non-acceptance of your actions by others. But only through trial and error can you understand whether the right path has been chosen and whether it was worth taking the decisive step. On August 19, you should cast aside any doubts about your own abilities, remembering that those who do not take risks do not drink champagne.
In Feng Shui, butterflies are considered a symbol of joy and love. Their figures will fill the house with the energy of freshness and cleanliness, help lonely people find a partner and attract happiness. According to the Taoist practice of mastering space, figurines, paintings and other decor depicting fluttering beauties should be placed in the southwestern sector of the bedroom - the zone responsible for romance and personal relationships. In honor of the holiday, those who could not decide on drastic changes decorate the house with butterflies of various shapes and sizes, and give loved ones elegant jewelry, costume jewelry and postcards with their images.
Traditionally, talismans are used to protect against adversity and attract good luck. According to Feng Shui, amulets in the form of butterflies made with one's own hands are welcome. Depending on the material used and the intentions of the owner, winged beauties will bring peace and tranquility or passion and love to life. The day of turning into a butterfly is ideal for creating talismans whose appearance resembles graceful insects.
Every person needs a periodic shake-up in the form of fundamental changes. Everyday life and routine drag on like silt at the bottom of a pond. Nature welcomes various metamorphoses: the opening of a bud and the appearance of delicate petals on a flower, a change in skin color in a chameleon, the mimicry of an Indonesian octopus transforming into a poisonous flounder, stingray or mantis shrimp to protect itself from attacks. Man is an integral part of the world around him, endowed with willpower and reason. Therefore, he can handle any, even the most radical changes, especially if they are made on the Day of Transformation into a Butterfly.
