The Archetypal Influence of the Month

In this month the overall influence of the Empress places upon us, a pressure to grow and expand; and the desire to both simultaneously learn, but also speak out and share your knowledge with the world. This creates a tension, from trying to receive, and actively give, at the same time. This can increase the intensity of this month.

The Empress is the first archetype to birth the new, and she represents the spring and all it ushers in. It’s this moment when we start to feel this process, and yet we’re still actually in the winter (in the northern hemisphere), not quite yet ready to emerge in action. There’s this kind of excitement and a bit of impatience for what is next, and what’s very important, is to finish what has been cultivated and prepare it for expression. It’s all about refinement during this period. There can be an evaluation period, of what needs to stay, or be cut, and what can be improved in all aspects of life; relationships, work, and home. It’s both a cleansing of the old, and a planting of new seeds. On a more mystical note, there is the potential for channeling; new inspirations and ideas, which inspire you deeply.

Socially, there can be a focus on the community, collective, and tribe; attentive consideration and contemplation toward your social interactions and network. Are we expressing our true nature and vision? Are we surrounded by the right community for that expression?

The Empress, in her pregnant depiction, is a reminder that we must be conscious of this period of gestation, and growth; what are we cultivating within, needs our attention and care to eventually be birthed and expressed into the world.

Testimonials

I came to Sphinx Code because I had some problems in my private life. Greg created my personal Sphinx Blueprint and interpreted my life with such accuracy, especially concerning the issues I worried about. The reading gave me great insight on how to better deal with my issue, and so much more.  This system is so profound and I’m really considering becoming a Wisdom Keeper to enhance my practice.

I found my consultation with Manex more meaningful and useful than those provided by other systems. The way he synthesizes information from a variety of different sources provides a complete picture of possible answers.  I was amazed at the accuracy of the Sphinx Code, almost thinking he was using his psychic skills, but apparently not.  Sphinx Code is the new Astrology or Gene Keys.  It’s so practical and the images stick with you all day.  Super useful to remember your character.

As an experienced astrologer myself, I’m always interested in learning new codes.  Victoria was amazing, as she weaved astrological knowledge, with Human Design, and blew me away with the accuracy of the Sphinx Code.  It gave me a brand-new perspective on the problem areas. Moreover she did this with great insight, delicacy and clarity. I am very grateful for that.  I now know what my work ahead is.

I came to a consultation, because I was puzzled with my current life situation and Manex truly blew my mind with the information from the Sphinx Code.  He gave me clear ways to develop myself and bring practical advice to my life. I have a plan of how to move ahead to avoid further problems. Some things he said became a much-needed insight for me.  It confirmed a lot of what I already knew but somehow hearing it in my chart gives me much more confidence.  Life Changing!!

MAGICIAN

JANUARY

The Magician is the youthful energy of excitement, passion, and beginner’s luck.  The Magician is a showman and natural people person.  He is here to learn stability, by focusing on his joy and his inner passions, realizing his creative potential.  He is magical and well loved, eventhcugh often he is insecure in his body, and can also lack self-confidence.  With that, there can come an over-excitement that borders of ego, or worse narcissism, where all of the magic disappears into misery and depression.  It is key to always refine yourself and go towards making your dreams come true.  Don’t be afraid to speak in front of a crowd, actually get good at it, and bring your magic and wonder.

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

For this month, on a positive note, you feel stable and confident to express your magic and talents. For business, there can be more opportunities and socializing, to make new deals and generate leads. For love, there can be a spontaneous meeting (especially for male Magicians), with an individual who may be more mature, helping to teach you something new. This chance meeting may even be to begin a family and have a baby. For all of them though, this is a good time to cultivate your creativity, and so its about choosing to be disciplined in joy of expression, whatever that is. Negatively, you may feel a lot of judgment if you are out of alignment, possibly even some shame, guilt, or a lack of empowerment, and privacy. So you need to create space to allow your unique creative talents to express themselves, and find stability in that. Making music or playing music this month can aid this process.

The High Priestess

February

The High Priestess is highly intuitive and connected to the sacred, to the highest spiritual values of Nature’s intelligence and the sacred heart.  The High Priestess is here to bring us into the meditative process of discovering the sacred heart, the secret of the internal world of our Souls.  It is in the sacredness of all things that she exists and finds herself the one that holds the high standards that brings the sacred into our lives, ceremony, and celebration. She is the inspiration, the inspired spirit whispered in our thoughts.  The High Priestess is the way of the sacred, the invisible, and the Holy.

MONTH INFLUENCE

For this month, there’s a push of going external rather and inward, and to really start communicating and inspiring others. It’s a bit uncomfortable because there is a focus on the social expectations, and how to present and conduct yourself. There is a feeling of your feathers being ruffled. You feel the calling of the social world needing you, yet you aren’t quite ready, so there is this feeling of chaos, and a rush to organize your expression out into the world. The positive energy of the month is the ability to express yourself in a new way, a rebirthing, like a diamond made under pressure. While in the negative, the feeling of disorder and discomfort dominates. There will be a desire to flee, to escape, the social pressure that is building and asking for your outward expression. The need for travel exists, but best to stay focus and grounded. Feel it all and come into the inspiration that is generated from the chaos. Transform it, and then express it.

Icon

The Empress

March

As The Empress, you are here to master communication and become a patron of a community.  The Empress represents the Cult and needs to cultivate herself to be knowledgeable about all the Arts (fine, healing, and practical)) as well as philosophy, science, medicine and spirituality.  From the long research and education, she can then masterfully communicate and organize a community to become the patron of this community.  

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

It’s your birthday month, so you feel empowered, and overcome with a tremendous feeling of wanting to birth things, seed new ideas, and start new projects. There is a certain social intensity and obligation that arises. Yet there is also this need to finish the things that have been started before. Your in need of discipline to make things ordered, tools such as calendars, planners, etc,. Even with adequate organization, spontaneous things will show up. There is a lot that requires managing this month. And yet there is something about your expression, something you need to push out into the world which is emphasized this month. What have you learned that you can share? There is a a strong aspect of love for you this month, and possibly a desire to grow the family or tribe. If you are single you are likely open for love, if you are in a relationship you may start to grow deeper through your love, exploring expanding your family, but this still can bring you stress. That’s the moment you can identify your true needs, whatever your situation, when you realize you want something more, its going to help you identify your desire. Don’t stress about it, embrace it, and make space for its manifestation. 

THE EMPEROR

APRIL

The Emperor is the master of the physical plane, the body, the architecture, the civilization, as the patriarch that is giving protection, expansion, and vision.  The emperor needs to reign a certain domain, and master something in the physical world. He is a born leader of men, and once his vision is set, it must be realized, with the help of others.  In the negative, the Emperor can by tyrannical, controlling and dominating.  Often they are controlling when they have not mastered something for themselves, and fear the rejection of not being adequate.  Yet in their power of mastery, they are examples of perfection and true leadership, inspiring others to master themselves and follow higher asperations.

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

This month is busy with building, structuring, planning, but there is an aspect of going out, and showing yourself physically, just being present in person (rather than mentally or emotionally). Try to stay vulnerable, don’t put the armor on. Stay social, but in a controlled and contained environment. Negatively, you can be dispersed doing too many things. You possess this driving energy that wants to follow the joy of creativity, and you can actually accomplish some interesting things if you discipline yourself to your joy in that moment, and see it through to fruition.

 MONTH’S INFLUENCE

You’re occupied this month with admin, rebalancing, and bringing order. This is not a moment to go deeply into the inner world and spiritual. It’s about taking care of business, things that require your attention in the material world. There is a spiritual alignment by the equinox, that whatever you have been going through in the winter, begins to carve a new path out, so you have to deal with the administrative things now, in order to have a balance within, and to be ready to communicate in the near future. There will be that pressure to emerge and communicate with the community, soon. Going into nature can be inspiring. Negatively this month, you risk being closed, reserved, and removed, which will bring out your bitterness. It’s kind of a dull month of taking care of responsibilities in time for the next part of the cycle that’s coming.

The Lovers

JUNE

The Lovers is the Archetype of Love, but more so it’s all about duality and the choices we have to make during this life.  Our choices run our lives, and distinguishes our character.  The Lovers is about bringing us into our heart, grounded in our decisions that are aligned with their soul.  The Angel Cupid is shooting his arrow towards the heart, rather than the mind that is being tempted by the two women representing duality (young, old, brunette blonde, passionate or rational).  When you can make decisions from your soul, from your heart and you aren’t distracted by your ego’s desires or your mental addictions, you liberate loving intentions opens transformation, love, passion and adventure to open into your life.  You are here to be a powerful representation of someone living in their heart.

 THIS MONTH’S INFLUENCE


This month can be fun, full of moments of retreat, and travel. A growth that’s occurring within you, whether you are alone, with a family, or in a community. There is something that inspires your direction in life this month. You may find what it was you were seeking, or at least feel closer to it. Negatively, you have a bit of hard time communicating, finding words, and feeling like you are still seeking, getting closer,  but not quite there. This is an observational month for you to be in space of receiving and feeling new experiences.  Tune into the sensual. Perhaps being able to write what you are going through. 

 

CHARIOT

JULY

The Chariot is the magnificent, the glorious representation of success in the light of the Devine, becoming the perfect vehicle for divinity.  The chariot is brave, courageous and open to vulnerability as he follows the laws of the sun and moon, nature and the integrity of living by the law, until war.  It is an archetype of action.  It moves and likes beautiful vehicles and clothes.  It is a symbol of the entrepreneur, the army officer, the actor, the fashion designer and the dutiful worker that strives for success and independence, through a coordinated effort, within the social structures. It In it’s darkness, it can be too harsh, protected and stuck in dogmatic and restrictive structures like the army or corporations.  It can be too strict and ambitious.   The Chariot is meant to follow the heart and serve the creative and feminine, and then the heroic nature can arise.

THIS MONTH’S INFLUENCE

You find yourself in an energy where there is a lot going on; traveling, opportunities, changing plans, lots of unpredictable exciting energy. Being open, vulnerable, and ready, is key for you this month. Feeling stable, because basically there is a feeling of being pulled in many directions at once, not being able to see what is fully going on, and this challenging you to find your inner stability. The risk is to be too dispersed, lose control and stability, and burn out from exhaustion and fatigue, so it’s crucial to be centered. 

THE JUSTICE

AUGUST

Justice is a powerful archetype of integrity, truth, and honor, setting the moral laws into judicial laws for society to function.  It is a strong internal compass of morality, and is often very fair with others, but hard on itself through high expectations.  It can be cold, and too mental, often coming from childhood injustices that were experienced.  Positively, the Justice is powerful at solving technical issues, innovations and also fighting for social justice.  It’s a powerful symbol of balance and trust that we find in the Justice.

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

March is all about discipline and action in the physical body, exercising daily. Tune into your energy, stop being busy, especially for others, and bring the energy back into your body and feel your vitality. There should be a creative and sexual energy opening within you this month, to seduce skillfully the other, into your vision. Practice the art of seduction, confront your rigidity and responsibility. Go back into the flow of what you love, get out of your schedules, and relax into your sensuality and sexuality.

HERMIT

SEPTEMBER

The Hermit is a seeker, philosopher and logical thinker.  He seeks to understand the human condition, and at first searches to fulfill desires, relationships, and adventures.  He seeks a certain popularity, but often is removed from the group, even perhaps feeling as if he is not part of humanity.  The Hermit is on a pilgrimage to find his own spiritual path, and then inspire others to follow their own paths as well.  Eventually the Hermit is an example to others, living his own truth.  His negative can be isolation, or over mentalizing life, rather than feeling it.  But overall, this archetype is a lover of life, and desires to find the sacred love.

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

This month you are at service to your community. There is a shift in perception that is happening within you, and you are realizing its not just about you, there is a need to be useful in guiding others. Negatively, you can be under the illusion of love, when this month its all about being loving, but not in love. True service is your ability to be unconditionally loving. Your conditioning around love and expectations of relationship,  can be a trap for you, and this month love is definitely all around you, so tune into a higher frequency of your love expression. What are you really looking for in your love? Be careful of falling into the victim triangle (don’t play the prosecutor, victim, or savior), become creative, evolve to a higher frequency of connection and love. 

WHEEL OF FORTUNE

OCTOBER

The Wheel of Fortune is the mystical aspects of time, transformation, and the passion of life’s risks and excitement.  The Wheel of Fortune is lucky in 3’s, as there are three characters that form this archetype.  The dog and the demon are the thorn in the side of the great mystical sphinx at top.  The dog represents all the pains and fears while the demon brings up the addictions, distractions, and dispersion.  In the negative, this archetype spins out of control, losing himself in the social scene, in what others want of them, and lost in the movement of flow.  In their glory, they are life changers, fortunate, lucky and powerful in their mystical ways.

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

This month is uncomfortable, your rebirth is intense and accelerated. You aren’t just cleaning your own stuff, but others as well. There can be some turmoil and cutting of relationships. There’s life changing situations occurring – spiritually it is positive, but they may not feel that way in the moment. The tendency is to react, close, up and put armor on and deal with it, the opportunity is to open and feel fully the emotions. A part of you may have to let go, even go through a death, and its definitely related to the ego. 

FORCE

NOVEMBER

The Force is the jedi master that has learn to overcome his impulsive animal nature into a refined power towards liberation of form. Through passion, sports, movement, sexuality, and innovation, the force is a natural born leader that can inspire many towards new levels of achievement.  The Force can fall into negative patterns of deep violence, repression of desire and depression by following duty over joy.  But liberated, it is a force to reckon with.

MONTH’S INFLUENCE

March is an easy month for you, slow and gently. Take care of yourself, follow your pleasures. You may be in movement, but no extreme traveling. You may be inspired to create beauty in the environments around you. It’s about a shift and gentle changing of routines. Negatively, you may remove yourself a little too much, and go into seclusion, but you’re meant to tune into what you are truly seeking, which makes you feel light and beautiful. 

HANGED MAN

DECEMBER

The Hanged Man is a very misunderstood archetype, as it is the one that shifts our perception towards the spiritual, as he walks in surrender to the Devine path.  He is faith, service, love and gratitude all in one.  He has changed his perception form the materialistic viewpoint of life towards a spiritual viewpoint and now he carries gold behind his back, as an illuminated prophet, self-realized as an example to all of us.  Otherwise, it is the betrayed and victim, or the scapegoat for all others, and through the love of service, they ended up doing all the work for everyone.  They are simply generous and hard working.  

MONTH’S INFLUENCE.

This month can either be exciting or intense and charged. It’s magnetic. Awakening your desires and fears. What is it that scares you about your desires? You have to learn to use your will to resist some these, that may create chaos. You may act on your temptations and try to conceal it, but it will probably be revealed. If you are trying to cheat, whether in the workplace or in your relationship, or fall into addictions, you have to call on your wisdom, and discipline to accept that you have the desire, but that it does not always require action upon it. Use it, and channel it as fuel for your creativity, into something constructive.
