CHARGING BULL
Visualisation
The bull represents male virility, fertility, power and the vital life force capable of regenerating the earth. Because of its untamed strength, it traditionally served as an emblem of kings, supreme gods, and warrior rulers. Associated heavily with Zeus (who transformed into a white bull to abduct Europa) and Dionysus. It also embodies the untamed animal instincts of the shadow self, most famously represented by the Minotaur inside the Cretan Labyrinth.
The "moon sickle" bridges two powerful archetypes: the crescent moon symbolizes cyclical time and the harvesting sickle.
"Charging Bull", the famous 7,100-pound bronze sculpture in New York City, primarily symbolizes the economic optimism and prosperity. With its lowered head, flared nostrils, and tensed muscles represent a "bull market," the forward momentum of rising stock prices, and resilience.
In financial jargon, a "bull market" refers to a period where stock prices are rising and investor confidence is high. The term originates from how a bull attacks—thrusting its horns upward in the air.
On the painting its horns as a crescent of the moon symbolizes the uprising of the financial optimism and the cyclical nature of the financial market.
Although the bull is standing on the Wall Street cobblestone, the Cosmos above him with the falling stars and “currency” constellations imply on the unpredictable nature of the markets relying on Luck and Fortune.
