Do you manifest as the sun or the moon?

You know that saying, “attract don’t chase” or something like that. It always makes me think of a really cool person who’s so effortlessly radiant that they don’t have to put in a lot of effort for the things they want in life. Everything a person like that desires comes to them just by being themselves. Not too much, not too little.I am absolutely not that kind of person. I definitely lean on the “too much” side. I get really excited about things, I (sometimes) talk a lot, I’m always starting new projects, I really want people to see my work and love my work (I am working on not needing validation), I LOVE being in front of the camera and making content and I fully go after the things I want.

While I think the first type of person I described is somewhat of a caricature I do think there is something to the idea that there may be inward and outward styles of creating the life you want for yourself. After pondering this idea, I came up with two archetypes that I (and you) may find really helpful!

Sun Manifestor: This type of person is vibrating and outgoing. They love to start conversations and projects and they take their ideas out into the world with energy and passion. Think of this person as the center of the sun, their rays reaching out and shining light on all those around them.

A mantra for the sun manifestor: “I shine and the world aligns with my light.”

Moon Manifestor: The energy of this type of person is all about attuning, reflecting and receiving. They take their time to think and reflect on ideas before showing them to anyone. They spend a lot of time alone, cultivating quietly until their gifts to the world are ready to attract the right person. Like the moon pulling the tides.

A mantra for the moon manifestor: “ I trust the tides to bring what is aligned.”

As we all know, life is not a binary and while I offer two archetypes, there is always a fuller spectrum. Maybe you move back and forth between sun and moon energy? I feel most aligned with the sun energy but I absolutely have moments where I move like the moon.
