Archetypes, Superpowers And Your Astrological Sun Sign

I am madly in love with the whole idea of archetypes which I am defining as legendary and idealized human roles and ways of being.

Some examples of these archetypal roles are mother, father, artist, trickster, witch, warrior, priestess, hero, gypsy, cowboy, goddess, shaman, poet or healer.  And of course, the number of possible archetypes is practically endless.

Archetypes are universal symbols that are recognized anywhere in the world. For example, you don’t have to speak the language of an indigenous culture to know when the medicine woman has come on the scene.

An archetype is pure potential and a divine blueprint for your souls journey. Because it is the enhanced, larger- than-life spiritual version of any particular role it is impossible to ever fully actualize. But each archetypal template serves as an invitation. It is something that can teach us and inspire us and encourage us to expand our capacity into embracing these sacred energies.

Tapping into those divine blueprints and channeling these mythic stories through our human bodies is deliciously empowering. And challenges us to be our biggest and best selves.

Each archetype also has its own gifts and medicine.

These are powers granted to the archetype that allow it to fulfill its holy mission… whether it’s the endless capacity for nurturing of the Great Mother, the ability to transform energy into matter that is part of the Magicians astounding repertoire or the talent for creating-something-out-of- nothing that is fundamental to every Artist’s bag of tricks.

My other love is astrology. Which at core is a system of twelve archetypes also known as astrological signs. And these signs all come well equipped with a few incredibly potent superpowers.

So I spent a little time exploring these signs and describing the superpowers that are part of their magic. And wrote up some fun portraits of these powers in the hope that they will inspire you to claim some of this wizardry for yourself.

If you know your moon sign or ascendant these descriptions are also applicable.

  1. The Gemini Moon says Hell Yeah, that’s my superpower allright!
    The Libra Sun is struggling with this, though. It may well be the most difficult thing for me – to just relax into receiving. I always think I need to work so hard for everything. (I was raised by Earth signs and they didn’t really appreciate my gifts). It’s a great confirmation that this is what I need to focus on more. Thank you.

  2. This is very interesting. I never thought of astrology this way before. New perspective- thanks!
