I enjoy reading about Carl Jung’s archetypes, and mixing that with Human Design makes me feel kinda sparkly inside like something just clicks in my soul. Emotional Authority Archetype: The Lover / The Alchemist

The Emotional Authority holds the depth of the Lover — deeply sensitive, attuned to the emotional undercurrents of life. But when rushed, they become the shadow Lover: reactive, chaotic, consumed by highs and lows. When they wait, they become the Alchemist — one who transforms emotional experience into gold. Their clarity is born through patience, through feeling the full wave and letting it settle before acting. They teach others that emotions are not weaknesses — they’re data. When you wait, you make soul-aligned decisions that have depth, resonance, and heart.

Sacral Authority Archetype: The Warrior / The Creator

The Sacral Authority channels the life force. It’s primal. Pure instinct. This is the archetype of the Warrior — decisive, powerful, guided by a strong inner “yes” or “no.” But the shadow Warrior becomes enslaved to obligation, saying “yes” out of duty, burning out. When in alignment, they become the Creator — fueled by joy, lit up from the inside, building only what’s truly meant for them. They remind the world that the sacred path is lit by desire, not pressure. Their truth is instant, and when they follow it, they radiate energy that uplifts everyone.

Splenic Authority Archetype: The Mystic / The Oracle

This is the archetype of deep instinctual wisdom. The Mystic doesn’t need proof — they just know. The Splenic Authority receives quiet, momentary hits of truth. The shadow shows up when they don't trust it — when fear drowns out their intuition. Aligned, they are the Oracle — perceiving what others can’t. They move with quiet confidence, responding to unseen signals. They guide through presence and precision, and their power lies in trusting the moment. They teach that safety isn't in overthinking — it's in listening deeply to your body.

Ego Authority Archetype: The Sovereign / The Rebel

The Ego Authority is about willpower, personal desire, and conviction. In shadow, this archetype becomes the Pleaser — acting from others’ expectations, abandoning their own wants to maintain connection. But when in alignment, they embody the Sovereign: bold, unapologetic, self-led. Or the Rebel — breaking systems that suppress individual truth. Their authority isn’t selfish — it’s clean, direct, and powerful. They show the world how important it is to want what you want — and to act on it without guilt.

Self-Projected Authority Archetype: The Bard / The Philosopher

This archetype speaks to truth through voice. In its shadow, it becomes the Lost One — echoing others’ opinions, unsure of what’s theirs. Aligned, it becomes the Bard — speaking truth that cuts through illusion. Their voice doesn’t just reveal their path; it transforms others too. Speaking out loud isn't a tactic — it’s a spiritual practice. Their journey is learning to trust what emerges when they’re given space to speak freely. They remind us that clarity is not always found in silence, but in the sound of your own soul speaking.

Mental Projector Authority Archetype: The Sage / The Mirror

Mental Projectors don’t have inner clarity — they are built to reflect their environment. In the shadow, they become the Chameleon — shapeshifting to please, trapped in noise, disconnected from self. But when aligned, they are the Sage — offering wisdom shaped by clarity and observation. Or the Mirror — deeply aware of how environment shapes identity. They make wise choices only when they’re surrounded by people who see them. Their process isn't solo — it's relational, reflective, sacred. They teach the necessity of external dialogue to access internal truth.

Environment Authority (Reflector) Archetype: The Moon Child / The Observer

Reflectors are the barometers of the collective. In shadow, they are the Disoriented One — rushing, pressured, lost in the identities of others. But aligned, they are the Moon Child — cyclical, cosmic, deeply wise. Or the Observer — calmly watching, waiting, moving with the rhythm of life. They are here to show what’s possible when we honor time, space, and energy. Their authority isn’t about logic — it’s about resonance. They wait, not because they’re slow, but because their truth is moon-timed. They teach us how to trust the unfolding.
