What the Butterfly Represents
The butterfly life cycle — from caterpillar to cocoon to winged emergence — has long made it a symbol of personal growth and change. In many traditions, it is seen as a reminder that periods of stillness often precede moments of great beauty.
When It Matters
The butterfly symbol is often chosen during times of personal transformation — a career change, a new home, the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. It can serve as a gentle reminder that growth is rarely visible in the middle of it.
