If the gorilla stood out first, you probably have a strong presence. You are determined and not afraid to take charge – but be careful not to overpower others. Balance strength with sensitivity, and your leadership will inspire rather than intimidate.
Second – Emotional volatility
The spirit may suggest that your emotions change like the wind – sunny one moment, stormy the next. People around you may have trouble keeping up. Learning to regulate your emotions can provide more stability and help you float more peacefully on the waves of life.
