Queen of the Damned
Self-preservation Instinct
In balance:
- Take care of your overall health and wellbeing
- Focus on what keeps your life grounded and running: finances, home and car repairs, etc.
- Cultivate a supportive and comfortable domestic life
- Appreciate the basics: enjoying simplicity in life
Out of balance:
- Challenges with self-care: poor sleep or nutrition, ignore physical needs
- Rigidity or procrastination around needs related to your body, home, or finances
- Lack of financial abundance, or scarcity consciousness
- Overly attached to routines, or lacking structure in life
Sexual (or Attraction) Instinct
In balance:
- Aware of attraction: both of what we are attracted to and of our own power to attract
- Feel vital and alive: open to new experiences, willing to take risks, learn new things, and explore your edge
- Ability to immerse oneself deeply — to “merge” energetically with lovers, to spontaneously flow with eros and inspiration
Out of balance:
- Lose yourself in intimate relationships: difficulty with healthy attachment
- Can become addicted to romance and excitement
- Narcissistic display and/or shame
- Obsessive tendencies or energetic deadness
Social Instinct
In balance:
- Skilled at reading people and situations
- Consistently create and maintain connections with intimates, friends, and colleagues
- Participate in and contribute to your friendships, family, community, etc.
Out of balance:
- Overly concerned with the opinions of others — fear of social mistakes and loss of support
- Excessive focus on others or lack of awareness of their needs
- Over-committing or avoiding commitments
- Social insecurity can lead us to avoid communicating or dominate the conversation to cover up feelings of inadequacy
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
