Poet

Light – expresses soul insights in symbolic language

Shadow – turns a lyric gift into negative or destructive effect.

You don’t have to be a published poet to have this one as your archetype. Look for a lifelong need and ability to discover beauty in people and things around you, and express it in a way that helps others see it, too.

The Poet archetype stirs the romantic in all of us. Song writers, authors and all shades of storytellers have the archetype usually in their fifth house (or even lurking in the 9th). My poet seems to be in the ninth.

The Moon in Aquarius, post-eclipse is giving us a chance to let the sunshine in. Although, here in Canberra we are experiencing -5 to a balmy 1 degree – ouch - sure it’s cold but we have the opportunity to wear our wonderful warm woollen coats and pashmenas.

An 11/2 day is a day to get out and meet people I am in a course at the moment so it is a fantastic opportunity to connect with new colleagues. 11/2 days are excellent for agreements and contracts. Keep in mind that we are now one step away from the end of the financial year – so that is an important milestone for Aussies.

Our first card this morning is Judgement – so wise, deliberate steps along the path of knowledge and wisdom. Caution, maturity and clarity are required to ensure that we don’t run aground on our new adventure.

The Lovers requests that we talk openly with our treasured companions. We are exploring new friendships and this is an exciting phase of forming connections for the future. Don’t waste your time with the cast of thousands only focus on the golden connections from the past.

The Emperor cautions that your role is demanding but certainly not out of your realm of expertise. Channel your authority into a positive outcome and make sure you don’t loose your focus on the insignificant territory of the shadow land.

The Poet archetype is not for everyone – although I must admit that we have the potential to connect with the Poet within. I know that the Poet likes solitude and hungers for moments of reflection. Emotional investment is an essential strand to this archetype.

Don’t take him/her for granted as we must nurture and honour the Poet in our lives. Sounds a little self-indulgent, doesn’t it? Of course, but the results are magic.

Love, Peace and Romantic interludes,

Julia Ashton-Sayers
