Jungian Archetypes
Jungian archetypes: universal psychic patterns including shadow, anima, animus, and the Self.
Archetypes are universal forms or patterns in the collective unconscious — structuring dreams, myths, and cultural imagination.
Common archetypes
- Shadow — repressed or denied aspects of personality
- Anima / Animus — contrasexual inner figures
- Self — totality and center of the psyche; goal of individuation
In archetypal cosmology, planetary bodies symbolize archetypal principles at collective scale.
