Take the Free AssessmentWhat is the Arcana Framework?
The Arcana Framework is a symbolic system for uncovering how individuals naturally contribute to teams — drawing from archetypes, behavioral psychology, and the rhythm of modern work.
At its core are five Major Arcana: The Tether, The Seeker, The Engine, The Navigator, and The North Star. These roles reflect real, repeatable patterns that shape how we connect, build, lead, and adapt together.
It’s not about labels — it’s about language. Arcana gives teams a shared map of contribution, tension, and transformation.

Meet the Five Major Arcana
Each Arcana represents a fundamental force in team dynamics — a lens for how we show up, contribute, and sometimes unravel.
The Tether
“A quiet anchor in the swirl — the Tether holds the team together when everything else feels like it’s pulling apart.”
The Tether brings emotional presence, relational intuition, and steady cohesion. But even the strongest tether can fray if always pulled tight.
The Seeker
“Drawn to the edge of the known, the Seeker pursues what others haven’t yet imagined.”
The Seeker brings curiosity, foresight, and fresh energy into the team. They explore what’s emerging — but must stay grounded to ensure motion becomes momentum.
The Engine
“The power beneath the mission — starting, driving, and finishing what others only imagine.”
The Engine sustains progress through determination and follow-through. But even engines overheat — they must rest to maintain momentum and stability.
The Navigator
“Maps the journey, aligns the moving parts, and sees what’s ahead before anyone else does.”
The Navigator turns complexity into movement. They pace the team with foresight and structure — but can become rigid when overcommitted to the plan.
The North Star
“A steady presence in uncertainty — not the loudest, but the one others look toward when it matters most.”
The North Star holds clarity and vision, helping others orient and stay grounded. Their light must leave room for others to shine too.
