7 Feminine archetypes

Though I don’t like putting people into boxes, I love using tools that enable understanding them, understanding myself, and the relationships that could stem from it or the potential of each individual. And the 7 feminine archetypes theory is one of those tools I love 💖

There are 7 feminine archetypes or goddesses:

The Lover, represented by Aphrodite or Venus, which is sensual, magnetic, passionate, creative and oriented toward pleasure, beauty, art, and desire, with a deep need for both freedom and connection.

The Sage, represented by Athena or Nike, which is wise, analytical, intelligent, emotionally objective, strategic and driven by knowledge, truth, purpose, victory and understanding.

The Mystic, represented by Hestia or Vesta, which is intuitive, calm, peaceful, affable, introverted, spiritual, creative, soulful, mesmerising and attuned to the unseen and the sacred.

The Queen, represented by Hera or Juno, which is regal, charismatic, elegant, loyal, and naturally commanding of respect and devotion but also very devoted to her partner which she turns into a king.

The Huntress, represented by Artemis or Diana, which is independent, focused, ambitious, athletic or dynamic, courageous and driven by purpose and achievement.

The Mother, represented by Demeter or Ceres, which is nurturing, sweet, loving, compassionate, protective, responsible and deeply devoted to those she loves.

The Maiden, represented by Persephone or Proserpina, which is playful, curious, innocent, youthful, free-spirited, sometimes rebellious, and full of wonder and transformative energy.

I could also add the Crone but it’s more a life a phase every women go though in the last part of their lives whereas the 7 other archetypes are more constant and present early on. But one could argue that we all are Maidens in the early stage of life beside having other archetypes being present.

So we all have a bit of those 7 archetypes within us, one or two, sometimes three, are more present than the others. Usually most women tap in their Lover archetype as a primary or secondary. It is quite rare to not have the Lover in the first two, and if not, working to make the Lover a secondary is quite important to balance the primary and tap in your feminine energy and also lover energy.

However, in rare cases, some women are almost entirely dominated by the Lover archetype, with the others being much lower. This creates an imbalance, which isn’t as problematic as struggling to tap into the Lover archetype, but it can make a woman excessively focused on love, pleasure, passion and attraction and lack rationality or decision making ability or even struggle to harness the masculine energy which is quite important too to create balance. Elizabeth Taylor is a great example of this, like the first one to come to mind though she isn’t the only one. Her passionate and magnetic energy was undeniable, but it also led her to marry eight times and sometimes not chose the right person for her as she was more focused on falling in love and living passionately which hindered her decision making abilities.

In Vedic, we can find some equivalent of those goddesses.

Those are all my personal interpretations, so to take with a grain of stardust ❀

For Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty and desire, we have Lakshmi, goddess of love, beauty and prosperity, ruling over Venus/Shukra, but also Rati, goddess of love, lust, passion and pleasure.

For Athena, goddess of war, wisdom and weaving, we have Saraswati, goddess of knowledge, wisdom and arts and crafts, ruling over Jupiter/Guru and sometimes Mercury/Budha depending on the tradition, but imo Jupiter makes more sense for both goddesses.

For Hestia, goddess of home and hearth, the sacred, family and the state, we have Griha Lakshimi, goddess of the sacred hearth, or Annapurna, a manifestation of Parvati associated with home and food.

For Hera, goddess of marriage, women, family and who is the queen of gods and goddesses, we have Sati, goddess of marriage, and Parvati, in her queenly state who is the more regal reincarnation of Sati, and goddess of fertility, marital felicity, spouse and power, ruling over the Moon/Chandra.

For Artemis, goddess of hunting, moon, chastity, childbirth, wilderness and nature, we have Matangi, huntress goddess of the forests, the wild and the arts, ruling over the Sun/Surya or Mercury/Budha in certain traditions. Whereas interestingly Artemis is ruling over the Moon.

For Demeter, goddess of motherhood, fertility, harvest and agriculture, we have Parvati, in her motherly state who is the mother goddess and goddess of motherhood, both nurturing, mature and devoted and associated to food and abundance, and Bhumi Devi, goddess of Earth and mother of Sita just like Demeter is the mother of Persephone.

For Persephone, goddess of spring, transformation and queen of the underworld, we have Sita, goddess of beauty and devotion, whose story echoes the story of Persephone by being abducted to another realm and then coming back to her mother, the Earth, for a new cycle starting with spring. But we also have Kali, goddess of transformation, death and rebirth.

So with that, some of these archetypes and goddesses already evoke certain nakshatras quite naturally, and looking for their Vedic equivalents can give us some clues.

At first glance, I can see Bharani for the transformative aspect of the Maiden and Persephone, Rohini for the Lover’s sensual, creative and magnetic nature, Purva Phalguni, ruled by Venus, for Aphrodite’s link to pleasure, romance, seduction and luxury, Vishakha, ruled by Jupiter, for the Sage’s determination and drive but also for the Huntress’ ambition and goal oriented nature, Swati for the Mystic independent, free and soulful self, and so on...

Beyond nakshatras, personally I resonate the most with the Lover first then the Sage, and I could argue I sometimes have a strong third which varied depending on the phase in life and wasn’t constant like the first two. So I still relate to the others to a certain extent and in certain aspects of my life but not as strongly as the Lover or the Sage which are always there and quite balanced with each other if not alternating in more intense periods.

And each combination of those archetypes creates a certain balance between feminine and masculine energy, or yin and yang energy as for now I don’t have a better wording though it doesn’t mean that some women are masculine and some are more feminine.

It’s the wording we use culturally but I might need to think of a better one if it triggers certain people..

To me, with having both the Lover and the Sage, it’s like having both feminine or masculine energy working together, or just as much yin and yang with maybe a touch more yin as Lover comes first.

Anyways, as you can see, I’ve started noticing some patterns between certain nakshatras, certain placements and these archetypes and I’m looking more into it to see if something can be made out of it in a useful and inspiring way. I think there can be certain templates or blueprints emerging from it to learn from and to succeed in any area of life as women.

In the meantime, which archetype resonates with you the most ? 🌸

[I AM FOLLOWING AYESHA K.FAINES RESEARCH OF FEMININE ARCHETYPES]

↳ the sexual feminine archetype of the queen archetype.

♇ if you are the diva archetype that means you got the queen archetype as your highest percentage [aside from the lover] and you got the lover percentage higher than 70%.

♇ the diva is one of the sexual feminine archetypes of that belong to the feminine archetype the queen, whereas the other sexual feminine archetype is the empress.

♇ [the queen is the feminine archetype while the diva is the sexual feminine archetype, its associate being the empress].

♇ those who belong to the diva archetype are born to wear the crown, they're deemed to be women who are regal, women who also love the glamorous style and are the type to command respect and adoration.

♇ diva women are also warm and sensual; and they're the epitome of the grande feminine. when people are around them, they are described to have this majestic and larger than life aura.

♇ those with the diva archetype are the type of people who make their partners feel royal.

♇ they're the type to hate being asked so much questions, but they will still try and be polite. they're women who are very forward with what they want in life, even if they're confident women, anxiety still preys on them; they might use another "persona to help them through". like beyoncé with sasha fierce.

♇ she talks about the sasha fierce persona in this interview; however in other bodies of information, she does convey how sasha fierce helps her to portray the strong and sexy persona she has to on stage.

♇ even if much divas are portrayed to be serious, there's a giggly side to them, a side to them that is always smiling and cracking jokes.

♇ as divas are women who are forward with things, they're most likely able to explain their feelings well.

♇ aside from being expressive vocally, their face will also tell you what they're feeling as well, as a consequence people start seeing them as someone who is blunt and straightforward, and they might even be considered as a bitch because of it. either way, whatever they say still has truth to it.

♇ some of them are also very religious, it doesnt need to be an Abrahamic religion they're devoted to. they could be very spiritual as well.

♇ moreover, divas are very notable people, their success cannot be denied. moving from success for a brief moment; these are the type of people who are funny without trying. people tend to laugh at whatever they say because of how much they speak their mind.

♇ another reason why some divas are considered as bitches is because when very under-developed, they're the type to make fun of other people or belittle others. they could be perceived as patronising.

♇ they're very trendy women, especially when it comes to humour and fashion. these are women who love clothes and styling, they like to dress in ways that show their extravagance and wealth.

♇ are very specific with the type of things they use, and type of things they like. while doing research on diva women, i've noticed they get asked a lot of weird questions. on the other hand, they either let the hate get to them, or they joke about the things people said about them. [like wonyoung and her cute dance].

♇ when they're not prideful and egotistical, they're open about their struggles. they can be very materialistic and they're aware of what and who they are.

♇ the type to get uncomfortable easily, they like to feel valued and like to have a motivator. or something that can push them through the day.

♇ these women are the type to always have the receipts, whenever they're backing themselves up, they have the evidence to aid themselves. they are usually kind until they're pushed.

♇ linking back to how it is difficult to not recognise their success, it'ss because they're always hitting milestones; they're rich in their culture and their roots [will always shout of their hometown] and they always find a way to include it into what they do. [if not always then majority of the times].

♇ a lot of diva women are aware of how it must feel to be unheard or mistreated, so they will always give credit when it is due. however, they wouldnt mind shading someone if they didn't like them, as i have implied before, they're very open with how they feel and with what they think.

♇ on one hand, when underdeveloped, they must feel attention on them all the time and can be terrible people. they know how to put on a mask and fool others, they're knowledgeable of their behaviour, the character they portray to other people is always for a reason.

♇ on the other hand, a lot of people look up to them, mostly because it is normally known what they're put through. many divas live tragic lives, and it could either be seen through their attitude or through their art.

♇ some diva women are interested in flashy clothing, a lot of people attempt to duplicate their styles and clothing, i believe that because of their versatility and style it makes them so easily loveable or admired. i've observed that these type of women attract foreign fans easily.

♇ on a funny note, i've noticed a lot of them love barbara streissand, she's been mentioned in interviews of dalida, jennifer lopez and aretha franklin.

♇ upon doing research on these women, i've been able to observe that some of them have power issues, or they like to feel superior. due to this, they can come across as bitter.

♇ many of them understand that they don't need a partner, but when they do have that partner they become really loving and devoted to them. however, due to their independent persona, they help set the path for younger generations to feel inspired by.

♇ aside from the other archetypes i have done, i have noticed that people from the diva archetype are most likely to be more underdeveloped? like it's quicker for them to get to a dark stage. they can become people who are very controlling and like to get their way, would step on other people to climb the ladder.

♇ however, their stern behaviour indicates that they are excellent business runners. very "my way or the highway" behaviour.

♇ most of them are household names, the type of people to put their friends and family on the game to reach a higher status. they can be very sophisticated when they're evolved, the type to know when it's the right time and place to do or say something.

♇ like i have implied in this post, underdeveloped ones cannot control their emotions; their words are powerful and can cut deep, but i see this for both archetypes for those under the queen.

♇ when it comes to their sensuality, they're the type to keep long eye-contact, they know what it does to other people and they use it to win over people.

♇ diva women are usually popular within women who are in their status, and a lot of the people who share the same status of them might look up at them. for example, beyoncé is known as the celebrities celebrity. people usually gravitate towards them!

♇ some of them had men beside them when they were getting higher within their path, for example, ari with diddy and beyoncé with jay-z.

other divas ↴

♇ divas i put above are aretha franklin, rosie huntington-whitely, ari the don, dalida, natalie nunn and pamela harmin.

♇ understanding the diva archetype, it shows that they can easily give off the impression of a mean-girl. though aside from that, they're the type of people who cant allow themselves to become wealthy and would like to see their loved ones prosper as well.

♇ and to make the diva archetype easier to comprehend i gathered characters from different tv shows or movies that come under the archetype.

♇ beginning from scream queens ⟶ chanel oberlin, a socialite and very cliquéy, she normally liked to hang around people who shared the same status as her, but between the women she had share similar status with, she was most likely the most popular one. a leader, and very mean and bossy, chanel definitely shows how a diva archetype can be so underdeveloped.

♇ onto game of thrones ⟶ cersei lannister, a good example of someone who likes everything to herself. a true mean girl, but she was classy with the way she had done it, she had been able to make a name for herself aside from being a lannister, she was the first female lannister on the throne and like a true diva she could certainly throw some shade, but sometimes it seemed like she couldnt handle it when it was returned to her.

♇ from ever after high ⟶ apple white; in the beginning from what i remember, she was controlling, but in ways that she had wanted everyone to follow traditions. [she was a lowkey mean girl, the type of ones you dont realise until later], anyways back to what i was saying, in the beginning she didnt realise how other characters did not want to follow the path that was their "fate/destiny" she's another character that shows how oblivious and selfish divas can get when low, or when they're used to getting their ways.

♇ next is from monster high ⟶ cleo de nile; i believe that this one is a very obvious one. she is a likeable character [and is even one of my favourite monster high characters] though it doesnt erase the diva, and i want it all energy; she is glamorous and expressive, will say anything that is in her mind even if it's the meanest thing, can have a habit of using people or manipulating them for her needs. dated the most popular man in the school too!

♇ moving onto squid game ⟶ player 212 or known as han mi-nyeo, aside from her bratty and stuck up behaviour, i noticed she used men as a way to climb up the ladder and gain protection like the queen archetype she is, but she definitely doesnt fall into the empress archetype, more like onto the vengeful diva archetype.

♇ onto mew mew power ⟶ mint aizawa or if you've watched the 4kids version, corina bucksworth, i feel like her character is a great example of a diva archetype when they're very devoted to someone, mint devoted to her brother, and zakuro/renee; she is a socialite that doesnt need to be around any man to bring up her status, but she already worked with men who were financially well and intelligent, ryo/elliot and keiichiro/wesley.

♇ from twilight ⟶ rosalie cullen/hale, if you've watched or read the twilight franchise, you'd know that the woman had a sad backstory when she was a human socialite, being married to a powerful man who used her as an arm candy and took advantage of her with his friends during a night out. currently as a vampire, she is a fierce woman but quite bitter as she doesnt like the fact that bella is choosing her own life path to become a vampire; love rosalie but the choice wasnt hers to get upset over!

♇ next with glee ⟶ santana lopez, if you've read this far then it's evident that santana is an obvious diva. she's quite the underdeveloped one but when the show progress you can tell that she slightly becomes a better person, she's just outspoken and harsh with her words. she was in the cheerleading team and in glee it was a cliqué/high-status thing to be apart of. and like the diva archetype she had an alter ego named, snixx.

♇ moving to mean girls ⟶ regina george, she should've been on top of the character list, she's a classic when it comes to diva women. likes to cling onto people who can give her status, or likes to be around the most attractive or popular man. she was more of a person who barely said mean things to people's face, [well half the time she did], but there were moments when she hid shades within her compliments, specifically during the moment when she asked about the girl's skirt.

♇ lastly with elite ⟶ lu/lucrecia montesinos hendrich, she was a character with great development, she cared for the people around her and would always back up one of her closest friends carla; she only hung around people of her status and was a confrontational and forward diva, very loveable character!

♇ within my research, i noticed that a lot of diva women are most likely going to have scorpio, leo or capricorn in their big three/six; in order.

♇ they're also most likely going to be scorpio, leo or capricorn dominant; in order.

♇ the planets venus, moon and sun dominance appeared the most in their natal charts; typed in order.

♇ the element that had appeared the most in their natal chart was water, second was fire and third was earth.

♇ finally, when it comes to modality, the one that appeared the most in their charts was the mutable modality!
