Peacocks symbolise  beauty, new beginnings, protection, self-expression, spiritual awakening, power, strength and confidence.

In Greek mythology, the peacock was a sacred bird to Hera, queen of the gods and patron of women, marriage & childbirth. Hera became jealous when Zeus would spend time with his many mistresses, and recruited Argus to watch her with his hundred eyes. After Argus was killed, Hera set his eyes on the tail of a bird as a tribute. The new creation, a peacock, became so important to Hera that they were chosen to pull her chariot.

In Chinese mythology, the beautiful colors and “eyes” on the peacock’s tail represented fame and good luck, as they enhanced one’s protection and awareness.
