Chien, Chen, and Ken are male archetypes. Chien is similar to the solar, to the Father and to the King. It rules success and healing. Chen is similar to Mars, is power, the beginning and movement of things. This is the warrior archetype. Ken is the stable, spiritual and represents those forces of spiritual guidance, a Jupiter archetype.
Kun, Li, and Tui are female archetypes. Kun can be linked to the Moon, the Mother, the Queen, stability and nurturing. Li is the maiden, the beautiful female archetype, the Venusian. Tui is Saturn, the mysterious, the High Priestess, the sorceress.
Kan is similar to Mercury, the changeable, the mental, the ruler of prayer and divination, in some traditions, the road opener.
Sun is the wind, both the personal spirit and spirits at large.
I am using the I Ching trigrams with a correspondence to western archetypes. I blend these two in readings that I do.
