The Hunter uses focus and patience to achieve his goals. He waits until all the details line up to allow him the greatest chance of success. In tune with nature, he is one with the cycles of the moon, the wind, and the season. He leaves as little to chance as possible by preparing and adjusting to the world around him.

The Hunter isn’t born with these skills. Diligent practice is needed to hone his skills. Hours, months, and years of training all condense in that singular moment of the hunt. When focused, his brain, greater mind, and eyes are glued to the target. If his focus slips, he may lose the game.
His determination is his greatest weapon.

The Hunter Archetype asks you to look at your goals. What preparations can you make beforehand to lead to success? What actions should you practice until there automatically? Above all else, do you have the determination and patience to reach your goal?

The Activist advocates for change. He uses courageous actions and words to persuade others to stand with him in creating institutional change. The Activist not only believes in his power to affect the world, he sees it as a responsibility. Society is and always has been filled with injustice. Too often people turn a blind eye in exchange for comfort, but not this Archetype. The Activist has the clarity of sight and force of will needed to better the world.
The work of the Activist is but one drop in the bucket. With time the bucket will overflow, and a wave of change will unfold. The Activist must also remember to enjoy life and find moments to recharge. Otherwise, they won’t have the energy to endure for the long game, and it is a long, long game.
When working with the Activist, you must ensure your actions come from a desire to protect and not an identity you cling to. Otherwise, he could slip into judgment and moral oppression.
The spirit of the Activist awakens whenever you protect yourself or others. It can be standing up for yourself at work, calling others out for saying hurtful things, or taking the time to widen someone else’s perspective.
When connecting with the Activist Archetype, stay curious instead of reactive, have compassion knowing everyone has their timeline of self-realization, and guide those that are ready along their path.

The Constant Rescuer wishes to protect his loved ones by micromanaging every detail. This can prevent them from learning how to handle stress, deny autonomy, and disrupt their self-confidence.

It takes courage to let a loved one experience pain or failure. In the long run, protecting someone from everything is unrealistic. The Constant Rescuer must stop preventing anything uncomfortable from happening and instead teach how to work through it when it arises.

To break from the Constant Rescuer’s Shadow, look at how you could release your need for control and allow others to find their autonomy. Maybe you were abandoned as a child and want no one else to go through that pain. Or perhaps you want to be needed so badly that you try to prove your worth by saving others. Try and uncover the past patterns that make you tighten your grasp.

You must learn to balance your desire to protect with the other’s right for independence. Letting your loved ones fail and discover their own lessons can be hard, but it will give them emotional resilience.
