I keep coming back to writing about projection, I think it’s because I want to know where all the energy leaks out from my astrological chart. The little pictures of the planets are dotted around my chart, why can’t I have access to them? Where am I seeping out their energies, if I’m unable to […]

I watched this Omeletto video this morning and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t super profound, but it was a light-hearted example of what society looks like when we’re unbalanced in the three intelligence centres, with an overweight toward the heart. In the Enneagram, we have three intelligence centres- the head (logic, rationality, etc), the heart

-spoiler warnings for last two paragraphs- If you’re a Type Four, especially if you’re feeling stuck, I highly recommend watching the movie Girl Interrupted on Netflix. In it, Susanna (Wynona Rider) gets admitted to a mental hospital in the 1960’s after trying to commit suicide and makes some friends on the inside, one of whom

I am slowly working my way through Bea and Uranio’s youtube videos, and I’ve got a spreadsheet to help me keep track. This week, I listened to their interview with Self-Preservation Type 4 Ian Morgan Cron, and I was reminded that I have an entire shadow that I’ve barely glanced at spiritually: envy, which is

My aunt is either an Enneagram 7w6 or a 6w7 and everything I say to her gets churned into a soupy vat of grey untrue-ness where the distinction between truth and lies gets dissolved by doubt and cynicism, and she can choose to believe whatever she wants based on how much of a political “underdog”

I once dated a guy who found out that telling me he was praying was a perfect way to get under my skin and start a fight. I don’t know if I still have a Tinder profile up, but if I did, there would be a riff on that line about “My relationship with God

Last year I had an epiphany about a problematic signature in my astrological chart: a t-square between Mars, Neptune, and Saturn/North Node, and as per the few teachings I’ve been able to find about t-squares, I’ve learned that they produce projection. Anatomically, the apex planet of a t-square acts like chalk to delienate a major

Between getting hit on the side of the head that my dad might be a Six this year, realizing some people I love are Sixes, seeing more clearly the Six-ness behind the conspiracy theorizing that’s dismantling western democracy, seeing the case for Luigi Mangione being a Six, and finally facing my Jordan Peterson fears, 2024

My conservative uncle called me this week wanting to say hi and let me know he cares about me. I let it go to voice mail because I wasn’t sure how I was going to respond; I unfriended him during the pandemic after his posts where causing me so much stress that it took hours
I’m in a discussion with someone about the virtues, and he initially linked them to Christianity, which got me cringing because of course they go back beyond Christianity to Socrates and Pythagoras, and (because I’ve studied the Enneagram), I’d say they go back in their hellenstic form to the Egyptians. In his defence, he knows
