You may identify with one, two or more archetypes as part of you in certain characteristics. When a woman is in her own essence, in balance, all of these archetypes are in balance within her psyche as part of her, showing up according to life’s requirements in a healthy way. Each archetype both reveals a personality & a life stage in our evolution as women. Acknowledging where you are now is the first step, then balancing and integrating the healthy aspects of at least two other archetypes is the key to unlocking your full potential & living in your natural essence!

You appreciate the complexities of each person’s path and outlook & choose environments that honour your inner needs.You create and value sisterly and brotherly friendships.

Your archetype gives a woman the innate ability to concentrate intensely on whatever is important for you. The Artemis Woman is connected to the Earth Element.
When out of balance you may do as less as possible out of fear of getting heart, and you may feel unable to find self-expression which can frustrate and depress you. You can get fiercely reactive and competitive unconsciously, in your desire to create a better life. You may deny your own vulnerability and your need for intimacy with someone special to your heart.
Pay attention to the soft thoughts that remind you of your inner needs & ensure to take time and space to retreat to help temper your earthiness and become more creative. Know you have the right to meet your own needs by setting clear boundaries to yourself and others. A consistent gentle flow yoga practice & journal writing daily will reveal your inherent balance shortly and guide you to your inner realm.

You are generous and giving, helpful & supportive. You create safety around you. You may have solid friendships with other Earth women. You can be stubborn & have strong perseverance. Many times you may be almost incapable of saying ‘no’ to others, and therefore have the tendency to burnout through taking on too many tasks as you also have a strong sense of responsibility.
You are resourceful with what you have, can provide for others efficiently and you appreciate life’s simple pleasures feeling blessed and abundant. As an Earth Goddess, you may carry a deep longing for becoming pregnant to your own children. Then you may live solely for them and even experiencing life through them. You provide emotional insights and support for others, you are consistent and persistent in following your dreams, enjoy everyday life and you are not bound to youthful perfectionist ideals.
When out of balance you may ignore yourself & forget your own boundaries, then your psychological health may deteriorate. Your strongest shadow side can appear in the relationship with your children. With the intention of protecting them, you may become over-controlling. When not in balance you may also tend to see men as boys who need to be mothered.
To heal & Balance you are encouraged to learn how to take care and nurture yourself as if you were your own mother & to connect with and observe your body’s cycles and the cycles of nature. You may become involved in creating community. Seek replenishment and support from Mother Nature when you are tired and emotional.
Give your other archetypes expression so you do not lose your identity while looking after others. Where possible, simplify your life and review your priorities. Practice Meditation, Breath-work and Gentle Yoga Regularly, and preferably choose a class where you can use your voice and sounds.

You are happy for others to succeed, and you appreciate the process of learning without expecting yourself to be perfect, nor others.

You are flexible enough to change course if the actual one feels counterproductive. You are loving and care for others.You are strongly ruled by the fire element and the Manipuraka Chakra.

You may feel as you are never good enough. You may lose the courage to pursue what you really would like to do.
To heal & Balance you are encouraged to tap into the part of you that doesn’t have to feel responsible for everything. Learn to be with your feelings as you listen to people’s stories and experience. Also, be mindful of your tendency not to forgive yourself, and do not feel like you have to be tough constantly. Realise your self worth is not dependent on what you do but rather in your inner being, which is priceless.
Try and get enough quality sleep, and time in nature, eat clean and move your body. A Nurturing slow Yoga Practice with breath-work and time to retreat and journal on your current feelings on a daily basis may teach you how to turn inward for balance and become softer and more compassionate with yourself and therefore with others. Meditation for you is miraculous!
