Samarium metallicum
Samarium's quality is heaviness. All the Lanthanides are heavy, but Samarium is extremely heavy. It's as if they carry the burden of the whole earth on their shoulders. They carry on doing things against all resistance and pain. They are real builders. The heaviness and pressure expresses itself strongly in migraines. Samarium is the most pronounced migraine remedy of the Lanthanides.

Forcing to become independent
They have the feeling that they have to do a lot in order to keep their independence. They work under pressure for the benefit of others. This leads to even more pressure and tension than in the other Lanthanides. They have the feeling that there’s still so much to do. They have an enormous power that they can use to create something big. They are real constructors, both in the physical world and in the psychological world. They can push through even when the task looks impossible or Herculean.
Heavy task of spiritual development
The pressure can also be a kind of feeling that they want to develop spiritually but they don’t have enough time left in life to do it.
Opposed in their quest
They often feel opposed and obstructed in their goal. People don't seem to see the value and benefit of what they are creating and even see it as threatening. The opposition is often felt as criticism and it feels harsh as they are trying as hard as they can to do good for humanity. It feels like being hit by the arrows of the Stymphalean birds. But they keep going on and not giving up, even against all odds. They mostly work on their own, seeing this as their quest, their own personal choice in life. And everyone is free to do the same or something else, so they won't try to force others.
Forcing spiritual development
They can experience a desire for spiritual development. They want to be able to control themselves. But they tend to do it in a forceful way. It looks as if they want to reach liberation in a few weeks. They force themselves to be free, free in the outside world and in their inner world.
Autonomy
For Samarium autonomy is a major struggle. They feel attacked in their autonomy from all sides and have to be on guard all the time. They have to fight to gain their autonomy.
Shadow
It becomes even worse: to conquer the shadow one has to endure hardships. In the labors of Heracles the fight with the Stymphalean birds is the first where he is injured and wounded by the bird's arrows. Heracles endures and keeps on fighting as if he hasn't felt anything. Here we can grasp the idea that one has to give up things in order to conquer the shadow.
Power
Samarium exerts really significant power under pressure. They build and realize big things with their continuous exertion of power.
