I have compared Jungian Archetypes and I have come up with this.

Aquarius = Innocent
Pisces = Creator
Aries = Outlaw
Taurus = Lover
Gemini = Magician
Cancer = Caregiver
Leo = Ruler
Virgo = Hero
Libra = Everyman
Scorpio = Jester
Sagittarius = Explorer
Capricorn = Sage

Never heard of those archetypes.

Thanks for that, I was aware of the archetypes,
never thought about them being linked to the zodiac.
This put a whole new spin on certain passages, where Jung talks about the signs.
On a superficial level your assignments seem okay,
I'm not going to go super deep into this though, so the association will do for now. :)

Are you assuming that the zodiac is true, so that we should be considering if we match both, or just comparing Jung's archetypes with the zodiac archetypes for the sake of discussion?

I learned some time ago that western zodiac signs symbolises among others things the life travel in circle, the growth of a person, from babyhood to old age, with an evolution of the psyche associated with the signs. The knowledge gathered was superficial thought.

For example with 3 aspects of my birth chart

Sun = Aries (baby, the Ego, 1st sign)
Moon = Pisces (the elder, the final death of Ego, the 12th sign)
Rising = Scorpio (???? I remember nothing about Scorpio symbolism outside of death, sorcerer stuff or whatever)

I took the first test I found here and got the Innocent child for both Self and Persona (both followed by the wise old man. Hero and joker too)

Instinctively I would have associated the innocent archetype with Aries and the sage archetype with Pisces. The joker sounds Gemini, the Hero Aries. Don't know yet what can be understood from this.

How did you come to this association @Rumell Super Member ?

The birth chart doesn't guarantee anything in life, that's your choice.

If you want, I could give you an interpretation. I would need your birth chart, which you could PM if you want, and it's likely better to do it that way. A lot of the auto generated sites don't have depth or include the variables. Of course, I'm only offering this right now just because I saw it.

this one feels more accurate to me !! i am a libra (with a cancer moon and cancer rising) and I relate most to the innocent and the caregiver ! i didn't really relate to the og post with libra being the everyman, as that was actually the archetype i scored lowest in 😭 (along with the ruler and the outlaw)
