Have you heard about zodiac archetypes and wonder what they are and how this fits into astrology? Astrology, psychology and astronomy were all very intertwined at their origins. In this article, I want to delve into zodiac archetypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An image or a story pattern that keeps on coming back in different cultures and religions. Repeating themes in the form of images. Representing symbols of things that we can’t tangibly find in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The English word zodiac derives from z\u014ddiacus, the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek z\u014didiak\u00f2s k\u00fdklos (\u03b6\u1ff3\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03cc\u03c2 \u03ba\u03cd\u03ba\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2), meaning “cycle or circle of little animals”. Z\u014didion (\u03b6\u1ff4\u03b4\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd) is the diminutive of z\u014dion (\u03b6\u1ff7\u03bf\u03bd, “animal”) and reflects the permanence of animals among the twelve signs. ref: Wikipedia.org<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zodiac Archetypes are ancient roles hidden in our collective unconscious that are used in everyday life that we can relate to through the lens of astrology. There are 12 main Zodiac archetypes also called the constellations. From Aries to Pisces. This is what we know as the mainstream Sun signs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The zodiac is created by the apparent motion of the sun around the earth. It is the segment of the sky where the sun, moon, and the planets move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is divided symbolically into the four seasons as we know them in the Western Hemisphere. Which is where the system originated from. Although it is based on the 4 seasons this is only symbolically the case so the system can be used anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This division in the Zodiac is based upon the equinoxes and solstices. Expressed in divisions of 30 degrees. From 0-29 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the 12 signs represents a particular group of qualities as defined by the season of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are not one Zodiac sign. You are not only your Sun Sign. Let us look at an example. You were born with the sun in Leo, but you inherit all the 12 energies. The Sun in Leo in your personality will only be more obvious to yourself and others around you. You feel more familiar with this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although all 12 archetypes can be recognized within ourselves. Some are more conscious than others. We can relate to all 12 of them. Later we will go deeper into this so you can discover this for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a short teaser to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
