PLANETARY ARCHETYPES
Planetary Archetypes: Finding Your Resonance
Archetypes are timeless patterns woven through mythology, astrology, psychology and nature itself. They represent universal qualities and forces that live within us all. When we work with archetypes, we attune to these patterns, recognising them both in the cosmos above and in the rhythms of our inner world.
Each vibrational essence in this range is attuned to a planetary archetype. Just as the planets influence tides, cycles and seasons, their archetypal signatures resonate within us, shaping how we feel, move and create. Working with essences aligned to these archetypes invites balance, clarity and harmony into daily life.

Meet Your Archetype
Exploratory Practice:
Close your eyes and take a few slow, grounding breaths. Feel your body supported by the Earth beneath you. Allow your mind to soften and your awareness to turn inward.
Invite an Archetype. Gently ask: “Which planetary energy wishes to guide me right now?”
Using the above summaries of each archetype. Take your time to read, pausing for a breath between each descriptive and notice any sensations in the body.
Get curious, how does this archetype make itself known? Does it arrive with openness, clarity, connection? Or contraction, discomfort, resistance? Where do you feel it in your body? There is no right or wrong, simply feedback from your body.
Perhaps there is one stand-out archetype, or maybe a blend of a few. When there is more than one, use your body as a divinatory tool. Ask it yes/no questions to narrow it down. Play around, make it light and fun. Trust the guidance of your body and intuition. Each archetype brings a specific energy to your self-care and healing rituals, but they work by illuminating qualities that already in exist within you. The archetypes are your allies, but you are your own wise healer.
Once you have landed with your archetype, anchor the connection. Perhaps you start through a practice of misting your aura, body oiling or adding drops of flower remedy to your water. Maybe you deepen the connection through meditation, journalling, essence acupuncture or sound therapy. Allow your curiosity to lead the way.
Together, these archetypes form a living tapestry, each offering a mirror of the forces that move through nature, body, and spirit.
They remind us that we are both earthly and cosmic, woven into the fabric of a greater whole.
