The octopus lives below the sea and can represent feelings or needs that are operating unconsciously. Its many arms can symbolize a sense of neediness that may be out of control and undermining your ability to find fulfillment through self sufficiency. Its message can be about focusing more on your own gifts and being less reliant on others. See also Sealife.
