Love your site. Are the archetypes gendered to reflect if the are masc/fem yin/yang energy?
I identify as she/her but would appreciate it if they could be written as non-binary. As I have to read this as a he/him/his but I am a woman.
Just an ideas. Can you not state at the bottom the prominent energy but write as they/them/their?
Thanks beauties ❤️
Thank you for your advice. We will take your suggestion into consideration. It’s been a journey trying to give gender pronouns to these archetypes when they are not any specific gender. “They” and “we” sounds grammatically incorrect as it is a singular archetype and not a group. We have played with “it” as well.
Quite the dilemma,

I agree with Hollie. I’d also like to see updated pronouns, if you’d consider. “They” might sound incorrect but trust that it does not to those who use the term regularly and it is widely used now. When reading the descriptions I felt my insides tighten a bit when reading he/she pronouns. They = 1 person and more than 1 person
This website is AMAZING, a little tweak to the wording will speak volumes to those of us that have found it!
Thanks or your feedback! We will consider it.
I respectfully disagree with the suggestion that you change the pronouns to non-binary/”they.” I find the use of “they” generally reduces the depth of feeling and renders content a bit soulless, and I would find it distracting and alienating to have to mentally make my way around contested gender identity concepts being reflected in your wonderful material. My sense is that people understand how to tap into the masculine/he/him as well as the feminine/she/her regardless of whether they are male or female, and this makes for a richer experience!
Grateful for the work that you do.
I like the way Karen Curry Parker describes this, she says that they are masculine and feminine in ENERGY, not in GENDER…
yes, exactly. When you are making an archetype and creating graphics, however, we need to assign gender. But, yes, inherently these are masculine AND feminine ENERGIES.
24 is in my Activation Sequence, and I have to say, wow. I’ve recently, in the last year or so, been speaking up about my internet addiction and even my addiction to video games. Things I use to “fill a void”, while tricking myself into thinking/feeling that I’m accomplishing something online or in the games – knowing that I’m just wasting my time. Now though, I’ve been embracing my addiction and noticing how I can be “addicted” to what I really wanna be doing. I also noticed how my actions with my addictions when used mindfully can be powerful towards… Read more »
