She Who Remembers
Welcome to the wild and deeply webbed world of Nancy Mataoa De Montero.
I am she who has been devouring systems of self gnosis from the time I was a young girl.
Jungian archetypes were some of my earliest doorways into shadow work and self knowing.
Within this system, I am a mother, figuratively and literally. Caretaking and tending to life are central to my core expression. My five children and numerous nieces nephews and niblings are some of the great beloveds of my life. I am literally transformed through the bonds I share with them and tending to them has anchored me to earth life with golden threads of love, tenderness and devotion.
I am child. Daughter of lineages that reach back to the islands of Tahiti and the Tuamotu archipelago, as well as to the farmlands of Idaho, where pioneer ancestors from England, France, and Scotland settled in lands traditionally tended by the Shoshone and Bannock people.
I was born in Idaho Falls, where ancient and wild nature beings still tend to winding rivers, ancient rock, mountain terrain and the healing waters of the Poha-Ba.
In Jungian terminology I am also medicine woman, caregiver, student, scholar, hermit, sometimes trickster, and more.
Many systems of self discovery have served me well. As an INFJ in the Myers-Briggs type indicator l learned long ago about my deep introversion, intuition, feeling, and judging senses.
As a 4/1 in the Tuttle energy profiling system, I learned that underneath all of the reflection, proficiency, and attention to details, there lives an animated, playful, fiery, inner child.
As an Enneagram 8 wing 9 with a strong magnetic pull towards the values of a 2, I came to identify the assertion, the strong willed sense of independence, and the value for freedom for all that I walk through life with. Protection care and stepping up to lead when necessary are the default mode for an enneagram ‘bear.’
As a manifesting generator in human design with a 4/6 profile who has an emotional solar plexus as inner authority, and the right angle cross of planning 9/16 | 40/37, I know I am here to respond and to initiate based on emotional clarity and wisdom gained over time. I definitely used to rush ahead on pure emotion. I’m learning to slow and seek the settled knowing before saying yes.
I’ve been called an oceanic monster of deep emotional waters by the wild ones before- so living into the power of pause has been life-changing.
Human design as a system has also taught me how integral communal tending is to my life purpose, and how supportive networking and friendships can be. Life deepens in richness when I share my experiences and knowledge with others- and bonus- my environment in human design is mountains, and I never feel more alive than when I am nestled in a grove of trees, near a river, high in the mountains.
I have delved into each of these systems and more, including numerology, palmistry, handwriting analysis, Chinese facial profiling, Mayan astrology, and Chinese astrology. I am currently diving into Vedic astrology and the depths and breadth of this study are profound. And through them all - thus far - it has been the study of Evolutionary Astrology and Karmic Astrology that have unlocked my deepest self illumination and understanding of life yet.
Within these systems, I’m a Sagittarius rising. My 12th house Sun in Sagittarius is conjunct Neptune in the 1st- just 4 degrees from my rising. My Moon is in Leo conjunct Mars in the 8th/9th houses. I am shadow priestess in this lifetime bringing light to darkness. Learning to integrate the all and to reject none.
My Venus and Uranus are both in Scorpio which rules the 12th house of my chart. I’m going deep with everything. I want to see all the layers and connections. My willingness to witness is fierce. I am lit up with life force vitality when I can meet others in these depths.
My south node is in the 5th house in Aries conjunct Eris and opposing Pluto. I hold SO much Fire. My inner volcanic magma pulses in devotion to protecting and defending children, the underdog and the vulnerable. I am hyper aware of inequity and injustice and life is doing her best to teach me deeply about the power of love and community and wholeness.
My Mercury is in Capricorn at 0* in perfect trine with Saturn at 0* in Virgo. This mutual reciprocity at the critical degree manifests in a tendency to devour information and experience. I am voracious in my hunger for knowledge and delight in the role of the ever student. I am learning to embark on the path of starting anywhere and picking something- anything- to give concrete and tangible form to my life.
The creation of something lasting that will deeply serve the collective is seeking birth through this chart of mine and it is my prayer that I will be brave enough to sit in the karmic soup that is mine, and from it, make something beautiful with my time on this earth.
It would be my deep joy and pleasure to guide and support you through your own journey of self discovery if the energy aligns.
