Description:
The Feminine has flair for innovative guidance as she continually orients and follows her own true direction in life. She has a unique sense of individual style that is inimitable and always fresh. She focuses on her vision and allows a resolute purpose to guide it. Her sense of direction is reliable both for herself and others seeking guidance from her.
While this archetype has an inherent alignment for where someone or something needs to go, she is not necessarily the one who is here to do the work. Rather, the Feminine holds the gift of coordinating where and how the creative process is directed. The secret for her is to find the right allies in life in order that her beautiful gifts flourish.
The Feminine is receptive and adaptable to what life offers. Her aura is one of devotion. She reminds us of the deepest truth—that we are all one. She teaches us to care less about what others think of us and more about how we are a natural part of the whole.
The path of the Feminine is the path of synchronicity. Much like the Sensual (46), she knows all things happen in the exact right timing, and that there is no way for us to be outside of the stream of life. That is why she trusts and surrenders in every moment. In this sense, the Feminine has a lot in common with the Water Goddess (29) who experiences a full-body yes to every experience in which she engages. They both run powerful tantric energy.
The Water Goddess is a generator of this energy, while the Feminine is a receiver, who yields and opens to take in and embrace the energy of her beloved, the Powerhouse (14). In their lovemaking, these two archetypes circulate raw primal life force from the lower personal chakras into the heart and the higher transpersonal chakras. They know that the true destiny of humanity is to awaken out of our selfishness and into remembering unity.
Through merging in love, the Feminine and the Powerhouse sublimate sexual energy and make it available for creative endeavors, instead of just releasing it in the sex centers. They show us how to live and make love with our animal body, human heart, and higher mind in harmony and co-creation. We call the relationship between the Feminine and the Powerhouse “the Keeper of the Keys” because their way of relating opens the door to living beyond 3D and experiencing higher frequencies of light and multidimensionality through our bodies.
We can also see the energy of the Powerhouse in terms of resources that the Feminine takes in and allocates in order to facilitate the expression of power and skills. She shows us that the more we let go into our feminine yielding nature, the more universal power floods through us.
The Feminine manages resources and wealth in order to make a transformative expression and contribution in the world. It’s natural for her to be surrounded by beauty and prosperity. The Feminine is the most yin of all archetypes, and she embodies the vibration of abundance.
The Feminine also has a close relationship to the Spark (1). The Spark shows the Feminine that it’s important to let things die in order that something new and fresh can spark. When the Spark have moments of existential entropy, the Feminine reminds him to embrace and trust all experiences and parts of life.
Together with the Influencer (8), the Feminine is the portal guardian for the Codon Ring of Water. Both these archetypes are deeply in tune with their inner knowing and individuality. It’s from this energy that they generously contribute and inspire other individuals to find their self-empowerment and unique self expression.
