Kings

From New Age Village

(+ Mastery - Tyranny)

King Role (Natural Leaders). Kings are born leaders, usually handling very large-scale efforts through out their life with power and authority. Ideal occupations include: presidents, generals and master organizers. They may also be in "lowly" occupations (like an administrative assistant) when they decide to take a break from the broad responsibility that they often choose.

Theme of the King Role: The buck stops here. I’m in charge.

Role of King: Born Leaders

Kings are even rarer than Priests, comprising only 1 - 2% of the US population. Kings are as rare in most other countries, with the exception of Iceland, which has a large population of Kings.

A single King goes a long way. Kings are exceptional at leadership and like to rule whatever group they are involved with. If not in charge, a King may be very competitive in holding their own. They do not like following others. Even as children, this trait shows itself very early.

Professionally, Kings can be found at the heads of countries, companies or departments and as leaders in any field. Occasionally, a King will take a lower-profile position (such as an administrative assistant), where they can still direct things according to their own sense of what is right. In such a position, they handle large projects with amazing ease.

Kings are superb at broad strategy, giving orders and getting others to follow them. Warriors are especially willing to follow the leadership of a King.

Energetically, Kings have a lower energy frequency like Warriors. Their energy is very solid and grounded yet softer than a Warrior with a commanding presence that draws attention toward them where ever they are. Most Kings have strong piercing eyes. Like Warriors, Kings tend to take care of their body and like to be physically active.

Kings and Artisans have a natural attraction to each other because their energy frequency is so different. When they recognize their differences, these two roles can help balance each other quite effectively. If they are confused by the differences, they may feel incompatible or conflict with each other.

Because they are usually in command, Kings often find themselves as loners, with few intimate friends and confidantes. They tend to take charge of their relationships, rather than sharing the power and decision-making with others. Kings can be very generous and magnanimous with those they care for.

Kings tend to master whatever they attempt, whether it is building a company or managing a business project. They do it with a style that makes it look natural and easy. For the King, few things can intimate them and they believe they can do whatever they choose to do. Failure is not a word in their dictionary; should they fail at something they attempt, they are devastated.

Famous Kings include both President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy, which of course raised the image of Camelot, an appropriate kingly image. Billy Graham and Donald Trump command their chosen professions. Elizabeth Dole shows her strength as a female King through her success at the Red Cross and now as a candidate for president of the United States. Sandra Day O'Connor is a commanding force on the U.S. Supreme Court.
