One creative and fun way to better understand and even learn the Destiny Matrix is by watching movies and series and comparing the characters to the archetypes found within the Matrix. By observing their behavior, decisions, and overall energy, we can align them with specific Arcanas. This time, let’s explore the series “Emily in Paris” and see how the characters reflect the different energies of the Destiny Matrix.
Emily – The 6th and 11th Arcana
In our opinion, Emily embodies the energy of the 6th Arcana, “The Lovers,” quite strongly. Her love for fashion, her social nature, and her ability to easily connect with others are classic traits of this Arcana. She’s always in relationships and thrives on human connection. Her bubbly personality, combined with her endless energy and passion for creativity, also shows the influence of the 11th Arcana, which represents strength and abundance of vitality.
Mindy – The 17th, 18th, and 9th Arcana
Mindy, Emily’s best friend, reflects the 17th Arcana, “The Star,” through her rapid rise to fame after arriving in Paris. She’s been working on her talents for years, honing her skills in singing and musical instruments, which resonate with the 18th Arcana. Mindy’s character goes a bit deeper than Emily’s, which is why we also associate her with the 9th Arcana, “The Hermit,” as she appears to have a more introspective and thoughtful side.
Sylvie – The 15th, 3rd, and 4th Arcana
Sylvie, Emily’s boss, is one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Her straightforwardness and honesty, particularly regarding her desires and opinions, align her with the 15th Arcana, “The Devil,” known for its boldness and unapologetic nature. Her elegant and classy style reflects the energy of the 3rd Arcana, “The Empress,” symbolizing beauty and refinement. Sylvie’s role as a business owner and her strong presence in the workplace represent the 4th Arcana, “The Emperor,” which is associated with leadership and control.
Gabriel – The 14th, 17th, and 6th Arcana
Gabriel, the chef, is a passionate individual who has been dedicated to cooking since his youth. His calm personality and lack of assertiveness align with the 14th Arcana, “Temperance,” which is all about balance and patience. At the same time, his natural ability to draw attention to himself, particularly through his cooking, hints at the influence of the 17th Arcana, “The Star.” Additionally, the constant romantic attention surrounding Gabriel suggests the presence of the 6th Arcana in a prominent position in his chart.
Alfie – The 4th and 20th Arcana
Alfie, in contrast to Gabriel, embodies a much more masculine energy, which points to the 4th Arcana, “The Emperor,” with his strong, business-oriented approach. His desire for stability and closeness to family reflects the 20th Arcana, “Judgment,” which often signifies a connection to home and tradition.
