This woman rules the spirits of the Ocean. The Medusas represent the eternal spiritual power of experience and knowledge. Life is an endless ocean in which we dive in searching for insight and opportunities to improve ourselves.

The ancient and mysterious jellyfish can also work to symbolize love, intuition, strength, and inner peace.

Traditionally, goldfish have been used as a symbol of good luck and good fortune. Several ancient stories and fairy tales also include stories of goldfish granting wishes or making dreams come true. In Chinese tradition, goldfish have an association with abundance.

Inspiration
In my view, jellyfish and medusas represent the spirits of the ocean as well as our fears and insecurities. Our fears and insecurities are all in our mind and obstruct our full potential. They take charge of our everyday life and our important decisions which have the power to change our life. We must understand our soul power and face our fears. It’s the only way that we can grow and move forward by developing a growth mindset. Once we face them and overcome them, we are in control, not they, anymore!
