WHO IS THIS ARCHETYPE?

This archetype translates inspiration as inner knowing into language. The Translator gives voice to received insights–she is here to express individual understanding that brings new and innovative ways of thinking and understanding into the collective. 

She naturally articulates concepts that come out of the Rebel (43). Her main gift is that she can split apart the ideas of the Rebel into small bits that can be articulated. When her translation is relevant to the needs of the moment, she is able to express profound insights and truths in a way that is easily assimilated by others. 

She is not afraid to shake life up and instigate new perspectives, often with a glint in the eye. Her grand statements can come right out of the blue and make everyone notice and take note. She is a proponent of radical measures, eager to see people thinking in new ways and embracing new approaches and ways of seeing the world. 

The Translator’s knowing may sound very knowledgeable, although it’s not based on outside logic or facts. It’s an inner spontaneous knowing that comes through as she relaxes into her body and trusts that the world is ready. The real power to transform and serve as a catalyst for evolution lies in her capacity to wait for correct timing. 

The Translator is attuned in the present moment and feels the right moment to advise in a direct and efficient way. Things that were problems somehow dissolve in the relaxed presence of the Translator. After all, simplicity is a state of being. 

Her inner knowing and light heart lead the way toward a simple, and playful life with people that are receptive to her genius and humor. Ultimately, the Translator follows the mystical path of surrendering to what is within her, no matter where it leads.
