In response to your question Shamou:

"Anima, in Jungian psychology, refers to the feminine inner personality, as present in the unconscious of the male. It is in contrast to the animus, which represents masculine characteristics. It can be identified as all of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a male possesses." - Wikipedia article.

As you see, my definition of 'Animus' is of the masculine complex within a man, which really just is the Alpha complex with a different name - some have different degrees of activity from it.

Anima, again, I associate with the feminine.
