There’s an element of the Saboteur archetype in everyone. It loves to be in control of everything, and sometimes, everyone. And right about now, this part of us starts to crave for insights into what might happen this year. When our inner Saboteur is in control mode and staring down the barrel of an unknown year ahead, it wants to know exactly what will happen during the next 12 months. 

But. 

To dialogue with your personal archetypes is better for your soul than a psychic. And while we’re not here to give in to the controlling nature of our inner Saboteur, it might be a good opportunity to take advantage of its newfound curiosity. What will become of you this year? Maybe it’s time to meet and greet your personal archetypes.

Your personal archetypes represent different parts of your psyche, which is unique. Your personal archetypes have been a part of your inner world you since you were born. They reflect the experiences and challenges in your personal history, they’ve shaped who you are, where you’re at now, and who you may be in the future. You don’t need to consult a psychic once you learn to collaborate with your personal archetypes, because you are one of a kind and so are your personal archetypes.

While the nature of personality indicators tends to classify people into one of 4, or 12, or 16 personality types, and it’s true that people will have some traits and characteristics in common, these indicators do help you to identify members of your “tribe”. However, the scope of these 4, 12, or 16 personality indicators is limited to describing your personality, your ego and your exterior life. They stop short of recognising the heart and soul of your inner life, and your true Self, which is undamaged and therefore, sacred. As such, these 4, 12 or 16 types are not accurate representations of your individual life experiences and challenges that have shaped who you are at your core: body, soul or spirit.

Archetypes are patterns. Patterns are predictable, and this means that your archetypes can be read. As universally recognised patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that shape your body, soul and spirit, your personal archetypes grant you instant access to humanity’s unlimited, collective wisdom. When you collaborate with your archetypes, you not only learn to make the most of your constructive patterns and heal the wounded patterns, but you learn to access your hidden potential. All of which empowers you to determine your future, interpret your experiences, and make choices with clarity and purpose. Instead of taking a gamble on random, external insights, learn to communicate and collaborate with your archetypes so that you’re able to recognise and trust your inner wisdom.

You don’t need a psychic to tell you about the future. You just need to get to know your own archetypes.
