A football analagy for the archetypes

[jivatman]

Note that what I'm trying to do above is show the simplest relationships within and between each complex.

Not to get off topic, but this excersize is far easier to do with another discipline of archetypal mind: Astrology, simply because astrology is a very long, unbroken tradition and we have bazillions of associations to work with. First I will show some of the oppositions, because opposition is the simplest, and thus the most primal, relationship.

Aries/Libra

Warrior versus Diplomat
Lawyer versus Judge

Taurus/Scorpio:

Demeter taken to the underworld.
Garden of Eden and serpent.
Stash guarded by Dragon (exp: Beowulf)

Gemini/Sagittarius

Travels versus Journeys
Trickster versus Wise Man.

Cancer/Capricorn:

Home versus Career

Leo/Aquarius:

Monarchy versus Democracy
Sphinx.

Virgo/Pisces

Microscope versus Telescope
Science versus Faith
Mary and Jesus
Saved and savior.

Relationships can also be made in sequence ( and grouped in sequence into personal, interpersonal or social, transpersonal), or of course by element, or cardinality.

Here I try to show both elements and cardinality, but that's hard to do, I think I'm successful in at least showing the similarities in elements, though.

Fire:
Cardinal: Wherever I stand.
Fixed: My kingdom or realm
Mutable: Anywhere

Water:
Cardinal: Into my shell
Fixed: Into the deepest depths
Pisces: Isn't this world an inward dream?

Air:
Cardinal: Me and my partner
Fixed: Me and my clubs
Mutable: Me and my friends

Earth:
Cardinal: Where earth meets heaven
Fixed: The ever Untamed, virile Earth
Mutable: The harvested field
