Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, introduced the concept of archetypes in volume 9 of his collective works: The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. These archetypes represent fundamental human experiences and are often expressed through myths, dreams, and cultural narratives. According to Jung, archetypes are not merely static images, rather dynamic forces that shape personality, behavior, and our understanding of the world.

Similarly, the zodiac provides an ancient framework through which individuals can explore their identity and life path. Each zodiac sign embodies specific characteristics, traits, and tendencies that resonate with the archetypal themes identified by Jung. By examining the similarities between Jungian archetypes and zodiac signs, we can gain a better understanding of the subtle and synchronous nature of our existence

While Jung identified a multitude of archetypes, but for the purpose of this work we will focus on twelve primary archetypes that align closely with the zodiac signs. Each archetype embodies distinct qualities that can illuminate the strengths and challenges associated with each astrological sign.

1. The Innocent (Aries) - The Innocent archetype represents purity, optimism, and a desire for safety. Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, embodies this spirit of new beginnings, enthusiasm, and the courage to take risks. Just as the Innocent seeks to experience life without fear, Aries embraces challenges with a youthful exuberance.

2. The Hero (Ta**us) - The Hero archetype symbolizes strength, determination, and the quest for self-discovery. Ta**us, known for its persistence and reliability, mirrors the Hero's journey toward achieving personal goals. The steadfast nature of Ta**us reflects the Hero's resilience in overcoming obstacles.

3. The Caregiver (Gemini) - The Caregiver archetype is nurturing, compassionate, and supportive, much like the communicative and adaptable Gemini. This sign's dual nature allows it to connect with others, providing the emotional support and understanding that embodies the essence of the Caregiver.

4. The Explorer (Cancer) - The Explorer archetype embodies a quest for adventure and self-exploration. Cancer, with its deep connection to emotions and home, represents the inner journey of discovering one's true self. This sign's nurturing qualities encourage exploration of both the outer world and inner feelings.

5. The Outlaw (Leo) - The Outlaw archetype challenges the status quo and seeks individuality. Leo, the sign of creativity and self-expression, embodies this archetype by championing authenticity and inspiring others to embrace their uniqueness. Both the Outlaw and Leo thrive on self-assertion and the pursuit of personal passions.

6. The Lover (Virgo) - The Lover archetype symbolizes connection, intimacy, and the beauty of relationships. Virgo, often seen as detail-oriented and analytical, brings a unique perspective to this archetype by emphasizing the importance of nurturing connections through service and care.

7. The Creator (Libra) - The Creator archetype seeks to bring beauty and innovation into the world. Libra, ruled by Venus, embodies this archetype through its appreciation for art, harmony, and balance. Both the Creator and Libra are driven by the desire to create a world that reflects their ideals.

8. The Ruler (Scorpio) - The Ruler archetype represents authority, control, and the ability to influence others. Scorpio, with its intensity and passion, aligns with this archetype by embodying the power dynamics of relationships and personal transformation. Scorpio's depth reflects the Ruler's capacity to navigate complex emotional landscapes.

9. The Sage (Sagittarius) - The Sage archetype is characterized by wisdom, insight, and the pursuit of truth. Sagittarius, the sign of philosophy and exploration, resonates deeply with this archetype, representing the quest for knowledge and understanding. Both the Sage and Sagittarius inspire others to seek higher truths.

10. The Jester (Capricorn) - The Jester archetype embodies playfulness, humor, and the ability to lighten serious situations. Capricorn, often seen as disciplined and ambitious, can draw on the Jester's energy to balance work and play, reminding us that joy is an essential part of life's journey.

11. The Magician (Aquarius) - The Magician archetype symbolizes transformation, innovation, and the ability to create change. Aquarius, known for its progressive thinking and humanitarian spirit, reflects this archetype by championing new ideas and challenging conventional wisdom.

12. The Everyman (Pisces) - Both Pisces and the Everyman archetype emphasize emotional connections with others. Pisces does this through deep empathy, while the Everyman seeks understanding and companionship in shared experiences.

The collaboration of Jungian archetypes and the zodiac offers a potentially deeper understanding of the synchronous nature of our birth, personality, and life path, and while I believe each person is the master of their own destiny, using both as a guide can help us navigate egoic blind spots, revealing obscured truths about who we are - our drives, and challenges

They also provide an appreciation for the universal themes that bind humanity together. Jung believed in the power of archetypes to illuminate the human experience, and while coupled with the zodiac his work serves as sign posts, inviting us to explore our potential and embrace the intricate dance of archetypal forces within all of us

We have had generations of broken men. Generations of males that have gone off to fight wars in furtherance of the religious and political elites’ machinations, only to raise future generations with the same subservient and self deprecating ideals. Fodder…grease for the wheels of capitalism and covert expansionism

There are men (blessed with the love and guidance of safe women) that are trying to break the tyranny of tradition. In their youth they were branded as weak, sissies, cowards and the like, when all they wanted was to be their true selves and not give into the self destructive patterns of blind hate that wriggles in our blood

So what is it to be a man of this age? We have people telling us that to succeed we must climb over each other, to make others feel small, when as a tribe we always worked as a team, and the success of that tribe relied in the actions of everyone, not just 1 person. We were a team, a family, a goal oriented cohesive group - our survival depended on it then as, I’m sure you’ve seen, it does now

As boys we see how our fathers and elder brothers act - towards each other, to women, to our sisters, to strangers, to waiters…and as they grow they become brothers, where they practice via imitation what they have seen and heard, changed a little by their own thoughts and feelings about the matter, until they become a father.

A father has a choice - to teach the “accepted” doctrine of subjugation through intimidation or violence, or nurture within their child that more balanced side of the masculine nature, what we know as the stoic divine masculine aspect

The universe is a balance of forces, like waves rising and falling, one yielding to the other in order for motion and change to occur - nothing is finite or permanent. A male can be both confident, and compassionate at the same time - they are not mutually exclusive concepts or energies. Chivalry is the romanticised ideal of that very thing - to protect those unable to protect themselves, to help when and where it’s needed - not for reward or vain glory, but because it is right and fair. To consider words and actions with due care because as we step into that divine energy - our own energy - they carry more weight.

Compassion, honesty, humility, charity, temperance, dedication, and justice - these are the virtues that set a divine male apart from the rank and file. They have no time for the heavier vibrations of greed, deception, vanity, greed, gluttony, complacency, and injustice - a life of virtue, of self control but with self awareness and empathy

It is not an easy path, but I see my eldest son steeping into this quiet confident power with natural ease (13 years yet already 6’2” and taller than his dad (jeez I remember the pride of that feeling 🤩)) - polite and caring for his siblings, protective and just to a fault, and respectful of women, strangers, and animals (he loves cooking too)

But for this shift back to the noble beast we call “a man”, we need help. We need to know we are seen as strong, maybe not physically so, but that our minds, heart, and soul are what are truly needed in this and every other age. Enough with endulging the egotistical males and their base rutting mindf**kery, that pretend to be safe in order to increase their “body count” 🤢🤮 - have some self respect

We see so many women’s groups (and that is awesome that women are taking back the power men have denied them for so long) and many exclude men because we can be slaves to our base instincts. But let’s not deny that there are men with good hearts that need to be accepted and guided by a women’s gentle hand, and these guys are the fathers we need for this age to come

Be kind to yourselves 🥰🙏🌈

I’m going to be a bit self indulgent today, and talk about a revelation I had about my life. Not for sympathy or the like, but in hope that people may see a way to review their own lives from a slightly different angle and unblock things they didn’t see.

So, my dad was a national serviceman - forced conscription to fight in the Vietnam war. When he returned he was faced with being a father (my elder brother was born when he was away), as well as dealing with his ptsd. They lived in a caravan and had bricks or milk crates for seats, so pretty poor. That’s in 1968

By the time I came around in 1975 they had purchased a house down in Canberra and managed to pay it off by 1990. We weren’t poor in the traditional sense, but I always had a sense of scarcity - we’d often have boiled eggs and toast, 1 or maybe 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream 🥱 and the occasional square of chocolate. I’d often go to bed wanting more, but knowing there wasn’t. We weren’t picky eaters

My parents frequently had parties, inviting fellow officers around for drinks and what we came to call “other people food” - prawn cocktails, beef Wellington, veal schnitzel, bombe alaska etc - real top notch fair, and my mum was known throughout the ranks as a great cook (and she was). Occasionally we’d get the scraps if folks weren’t hungry or didn’t show, but like I said, she was a great cook, so that happened rarely.

I recall having baby sitters fairly regularly, even when we had just arrived in Malaysia in ‘79 and staying in an army paid hotel. Mum and dad were off hobnobbing with the brass and we were in a strange land with strange people - I’d get so enamoured with these young women because of their displays of affection and attention, only having to move or to have them replaced (as if moving wasn’t bad enough). No wonder I was a frequent bed wetter (tmi 🤔🤷‍♂️)

But the thing I most recall is the fancy jewellery my mother had, and the fur scarf, beautiful dresses and hats. To that point, when she passed each of us 3 kids got a set of earrings, a necklace, 1 or 2 rings, and a bracelet of either rubies, sapphires, or emeralds. I know for a fact that none of those pieces were less than 10k each, so an easy $100k in baubles all told

When I look back to 1990, just before moving to Townsville we won a brand new Holden commodore, which they sold for $15k. I remember my mum saying, “oh we really needed that because we were going under” - they’d paid of their house, mum was wearing at least 30k of jewellery as common ware, but we were financially strapped…right.

I was 15 in 1990, and my sister was 20 - she or I could have had that car, or mums old one as our first car. That’d of been awesome

Here’s the obvious thing that has illuded me for so many years - my scarcity mindset is bs - I was surrounded by abundance but i was denied access to it! And yes I know my parents were entitled to their trinkets for their hard work, but we sacrificed too, and not of our own free will - the food, their time (we’d see dad for dinner and the weekends, when he wasn’t out bush), their attention and affection…

I know why I eat a tub of chocolate ice cream in a sitting - it was never an option before, and now I can, heck I can have two 🤢 I play console games because we never had one, unlike all my friends (even the “poor” ones). I stay up late because we were always in bed by 7:30 to be out of the way for party guests (not asleep though because of the loud strange voices and laughter) or for them (which as a parent I can appreciate, but still..)

I didn’t have it as bad as many people I know, and I know my parents did the best that they could, but I was an angelic kid who gave laughter, compassion, and love freely, and though I know I was denied abundance in accordance to my life path, it would have been nice to be more important than I was made to feel

Anyway, I hope that in this life review you may see things differently about your own, and I hope that we all attain the abundance we deserve in all things - love, achievements, money, friendships…ice cream 🤤 and whatever your heart desires

Be kind to yourselves 🥰🙏🌈
