Money ARCHETYPES
are innate patterns that influence your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, & actions about money.  These unconscious forces create success or sabotage, & can impact your income & life on so many levels.

Many writers have tried to distinguish between “money types”. There is even an online magazine (http://womenmoneyandsuccessmag.com/), &  literature on money in relationships, as money can be a major cause of friction because of what it represents. 

✥ MAGICIAN
This is the ideal money type. They embrace the inner life as the place of spiritual wealth and the outer life as the expression of enlightenment in the material world & so are infinitely connected. Using new & ever-changing dynamics both in the material world & world of the Spirit, Magicians know how to transform and manifest their own financial reality.

The Magician is fully awake & aware of themself & the world around them. They’re armed with the knowledge of the past, made peace with their personal history, & understands that their source of power exists within in his ability to see and live the truth of who he is.
Magicians know the source of power comes from their ability to tap into their Higher Power. With faith, love & patience, they simply wait in certainty,  knowing that all our needs are met all the time.

They are confident about managing money, strongly believing in their ability to create wealth through various ventures or creative endeavors. Finding innovative ways to generate abundance, they often have multiple streams of income & can adapt quickly to changing economic landscapes.

The archetype currently active in our life is the place we need to grow from – by becoming aware of the thoughts & actions that prevent us from having a positive relationship with money. When we’re willing to claim our own power, we can be the Magician.  

✥ ARTIST / CREATOR
NEGATIVE :  This type is on a spiritual or artistic path, but many of them feel that money is bad or not spiritual (‘the root all evil….:‘). They often find it hard living in the material world, with a conflicted love/hate relationship with money. They love it for the freedom it buys, but have little or no desire to actually participate in it practically.

They most fear not being true to themself, over-identifying with their inner feelings, even despising those who live in the ‘real’ world. Their negative beliefs about commercialism block the very freedom they so desire. So they constantly struggle with financial survival – not for lack talent or ambition, but because they’re stuck in a mind set that keeps them from manifest money.

POSITIVE: Creators/Artists who work to integrate the spiritual with the material reality can end their struggles. Since they spend much of their time paying attention to their inner journeys & creative potential, they already have many of the qualities to become Magicians. They need to accept the world they lives in, embracing it in all its dimensions.

✥ CONNECTOR
They keep the world spinning and bring everyone together with kindness and love.   The most important thing to this type is connecting with others, so they use money to form & maintain their community.  They’re the  sometimes-counselor, cheerleader, & problem solver who freely gives away their ideas & advice.
They struggles to charge ANYONE because everyone they meet becomes their new best friend. Of course this makes them sitting ducks for co-dependent users who take advantage. Learning to have boundaries become an imperative survival skill.

However, their ability to bring people & solutions together is the key to their business, but resist it & worry about being inauthentic. They care more about heart-to-heart interactions than about making money, but creating long-term relationships can actually generate income.

Ironically, their faith & optimism that money will always be available keep them from worrying about it. They could live off heart-shaped mung beans & probably find someone to share it with. They tell themselves it will work out, & it often does, magically at the last minute, having found that connections such as networking can benefit them financially.
