Enneagram Analysis : Little Women

Jo March

I’m responsible for my family. Talks a lot. Reactive. Hot temper. Hardworking. Writer and writes a lot. Verbose. Head energy. Doesn’t want to get married. Always irritated and angry, on a high horse. Deeply attached to her sisters and childhood. 'No one even cares for my stories anyway'. Sold her hair impulsively, than cries! Determined to control things, she'll stop her sister from dying... 'God hasn't met my will yet'. 'We will be unhappy, everything will be horrid'... escapism from pain. Wish for liberty. Doesn't want childhood to be over. Very fear-anxiety based. Fear of change and the unknown. Is rebelling against the societal idea that love is the only goal for women. 6w7. Often counter-phobic.

Marmee March

Wants to do the right thing for others.. Warm, a bleeding heart, yet proper, moral. Idealistic, encourages to pray. Breakfast for the hungry family. Encourages love and forgiveness... Always busy being of service and 'doing the right thing' for others. 'I spent my whole life ashamed of my country.' Always polite, always welcoming. Says she's angry everyday. Not image centered. 1w2.

Amy March

image focused, wants success. To be the best painter, standing out positively from her art or her status. Obsessed with her nose and beauty (vanity). Certainly wants attention, to shine. Wants to go to the theater. 3w4. Marriage as an economical proposition. Doesn't want to be second to Jo, like always. Was willing to marry a man she didn't love to be financially well-off.

Meg March

Not enough scenes! A little Image focused.. wants to belong with the ladies. Wants to be beautiful and rich and feminine… 2w3 vibe. Wants luxury then feels guilty. 'I want a home, and a family, I'm willing to struggle and work, but I want to do it with John.' Might be a 6. Desire for support.. But feel more 2ish of 'sacrificing' her needs for 'love'. Yet there's an absence of 'you need me' or 'after everything I've done for you'!

Beth March

'The Quiet One'. Shy with strangers. Stays inside. Withdrawn energy, is more in the background and goes along with the more 'present' sisters. Refined piano playing. Able to know what her sisters need to hear. 9w1. Her sisters have a tendency to not listen to her because she's meek... she ends up sick.

Laurie

Fantasizes about love, fears rejection, is ‘against’, disagreeable, shuns Meg for wanting to belong, withdrawn… 4w3. A little bit of eccentricity, flamboyance. Not double withdrawn, definitely seeks negative attention: 'I'd rather hang myself, I'd rather be dead.'

Mercury in Astrology; it's psychological function

Let's continue with our analogy of a kingdom, with the main actors, aka the planets, each sitting at a round table. We had the Sun, representing the King, and the Moon, representing the Queen, sitting at the end of the round table. Mercury here would be the spokesperson for the King and Queen, and thus, for the Kingdom (our self). We would call it the attache, the connection with the village and other kingdoms. Mercury represents the first communicative function of the mind; how we translate our Sun and Moon motivations and needs to the world, and how we learn about those same motivations in other people. Mercury allows us to put things into words, to communicate, to hear and learn, and to discover the world. Mercury is how we communicate, how and what we learn; it's language, and the many things that represents.

Mercury: Thinking, Analytical intelligence, Adaptability, Cleverness, Curiosity, Transfer, Transmit, Ingenuity, Novelty, Youth, Education, Language, Learning, Words, Books, Reason, Acting, Skills, Communication, Interests, Open-mindedness, Craft, Hands, Commerce, Trade, Travel, Networking, Conversation, Debate, Science, Youth, Interaction, Flightiness, Trickery, Stealth, Scheme, Attention, Boredom, Restlessness

My capacity to think, speak, learn, and reason.

Urge: to express one’s perceptions and intelligence through skill or speech. Need to establish connections with others, need to learn, think, perceive

Function: Intelligence. Transmission of information; talking, teaching, writing. Reception of information; listening, learning, reading, observing. Ability to reason, acquire knowledge, formulate concepts and ideas, and communicate them to others.

Key Questions: What are my intellectual and communicative strengths? What are my intellectual and communicative weaknesses? How and where am I meant to be curious, playful, inventive, willing to try new things?

As gift giver (Synastry); To inform. To excite intellectually. To enliven. To encourage speech.

As thief (Synastry); To confound. To fluster. To force ideas. Tu push for agreements.

If retrograde: Mind turned inward, freed to think in independent, imaginative, innovative terms. Possible difficulty in self-expression; words do not form.

Source; The Inner Sky, Steven Forrest

To understand the way to fulfill this urge, accomplish this function, and answer the key questions, look to the traits and characteristics of your Mercury sign, the house that Mercury is in plus the one it rules, and the planets making an aspect to it.

Domicile: Gemini (Very strong here), Exaltation: Virgo (Strong here), Detriment: Sagittarius (Weak here) Fall: Pisces (Very weak here)

Instinctual Drives and the Enneagram Cheat sheet (From John Luckovich's book)

Self-Preservation Drive Approaches

Abundance vs scarcity

Grounding; Rooting to one’s center and place of balance through the body. Seeking foundations and sources of stability.

Overdoing (Dominant); Overly stable, predictable, fearful, stagnant, exertion.

Underdoing (Blind); Ungrounded, scattered, unstable, frenetic, sloppy, uncontained

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); over-eating, overspending, wasteful consumption. Hoarding. Unconscious destruction of one’s home, environment, resources, material things, and body.

Sensing; Sensitivity to one’s own state through the signals of the body. Attention to physical feedback and impressions. Attuning to optimal states and environments.

Overdoing (Dominant); Hypersensitivity, overly comfort seeking, insulated.

Underdoing (Blind); Uninhabited, numb, desensitized, unaddressed physical problems.

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); Numbing or stuffing the body, cutting off from sensation, abusing the body through substance abuse and addictions. Living in filth. Bringing the body to disease or irrational disgust and phobias.

Sexual Drive Approaches

Sexual fusion vs sexual rejection

Pursuing; Locking on to what attracts with focused energy and attention. Letting what’s extraneous fall away. ‘Tunnel vision’ on the object of desire.

Overdoing (Dominant); Obsessive, craving, possessive, addiction, insatiable.

Underdoing (Blind); Scattered, dispersed, repetitive, indirect, formal, overly stable.

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); consuming obsession, zeroing in on what one dislikes to the point of hatred and prejudice, fusing with bizarre, intense ideas. Vehemence about what is acceptable and appropriate. Sex addiction.

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); erotically anti-erotic, punishing, pleasure in vindication, arousal at violent or disturbing imagery or fetishes. Self-harm. Aroused by what is deeply forbidden and morbid. Violation of boundaries.

Social Drive Approaches

Belonging vs social irrelevancy

Underdoing (Blind); inaccessible, cold, closed, unapproachable, lacking sensitivity to others.

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); Undiscriminating paranoia, willingness to assign value, malignant intentions to groups and masses. Xenophobia, hostility, insularity, isolation. Fear of invasion projected onto germs or toxins.

Underdoing (Blind); non-participatory, impersonal, without a ‘voice’, socially awkward.

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); Wanting to vandalize, destroy, spoil what others find pleasant or enjoyable. Individuals taken to symbolize a whole group that one wants to inflict suffering upon. Trolling, abusive pranking, random acts of violence.

Navigating; Sensing the layers, boundaries, and nuances of social environments and circumstances. This brings texture to social contexts, which helps us recognize the mechanics of interpersonal dynamics, knowing one’s place, role, or relationship within them.

Overdoing (Dominant); overly bound to structure, formal, role-oriented, self-conscious.

Underdoing (Blind); Missing cues, inappropriate, rude, obtuse, unplugged, purposeless.

When suppressed (Destructive blindspot); Intense hatred based on others’ perceived group affiliations. Viewing others as expendable, empty, wanting to destroy social structures and groups of people. Finding belonging with one group via opposition to another.

Major Arcana: The Magician

Key Theme; Manifesting

Correspondence: Mercury, Air

Key Words: Creative forces, mastery of the mind, the power of manifestation, transformational success, focused clarity, willful, desire, goal transformed into reality, visionary, willpower, divine inspiration, reshaping reality.

Mercury: Mind, reason, communication, logic, interests, conscious mind, intellect, messenger of the Gods, reading, writing, learning, breaking things apart, putting them back together, coordination.

This is half of the split of the soul: consciousness of ego, creation of order, action. Can lead to confused action, since separated from the High Priestess (first division of the Soul, aka The fool, into a masculine and feminine aspect, the Magician and High Priestess).

The card for witches, spiritually charged beings, tarot readers and powerful manifestors and visionaries. Represents the alchemist, turning metal into gold.

It’s time for action; for communicating and expressing your ideas, your visions and insights. This is the card of the inventor, the entrepreneur. Use your talents and step into your power to manifest your desires. Creating your life and your destiny.

Shadow aspect: questionable intentions, obsession, dark magic, lack of focus, selfish or self-destructive actions, manipulation. Power can transform, but also corrupt. You might be misled by a charming manipulator, a con man.

As a Personality: focused, strong will, manifestor, hardworking, achiever, open to divine inspiration, channel for higher consciousness, excellent communicator, inspirational, figuring out things, developing ideas, creating desired reality, fast thinker, ahead of the game, too many ideas can cause loss of focus, ability to transform and create exciting experiences.

The Moon in Astrology; It's psychological function

Every planet in the sky is set to represent a different psychological function of the human mind. The best analogy I have come across to easily understand this is that of the counsel that manages a kingdom. There is the King, the Queen, and all other members (like the knight) who sit around a table, making decisions for the fate of the whole kingdom. The Queen, who is the primal support of the King and the heart of the counsel, is represented by the Moon; it's the major feminine function of the mind. The moon is who we are the moment of birth; a state of symbiosis and fusion with our mother, complete safety and dependence, without any consciousness of an 'I', simply of a 'We'. To me, the Moon represents the emotional brain; the part of the brain at the basis of all our deepest fears and traumas, the root of our gut reactions. It's the part developed when we are young, that isn't rational or understandable, that remembers in an emotional and instinctual way. It's the animal within, the most fragile part of us, the wild side of ourselves that is often kept hidden, in the dark.

My emotions, feelings, and subconscious habits and attitudes; the core of myself.

Moon: Nurture, Nature, Instinct, Memories, Security, Safety, Dependency, Feelings, Home, Roots, Mother, Queen, Attachment, Anxiety, Irrationality, Variability, Mood, Belonging, Nourishment, Needs, Subconscious, Pleasure, Phases, Reaction, Chaos, Adaptation, Conditioning, Habit, Rhythm, Trance, Ecstasy, Hysteria, Creation, Destruction, Fertility, Infancy, Matriarch, Collective, Sorcery, Enchantment

Urge: to feel inner support; domestic and emotional security. Need for emotional tranquility and sense of belonging, need to feel right about self, to nurture self. Need to embed oneself in a collective unit for emotional security.

Function: The development of the ability to feel or respond emotionally. The development of subjectivity, impressionability, and sensitivity, of a soul.

Key Questions: What kinds of experiences are most essential to my happiness and my mental health? When moodiness and irrationality overtake me, how are they expressed? What unconscious emotional needs motivate my behavior?

As gift giver (Synastry); To sensitize and reveal. To deepen. To comfort. To heal. To inspire. To nurture.

As thief (Synastry); To emotionalize and irrationalize. To infantilize. To upset. To scare. To smother.

Source; The Inner Sky, Steven Forrest

To understand the way to fulfill this urge, accomplish this function, and answer the key questions, look to the traits and characteristics of your Moon sign, the house the Moon is in plus the one it rules, and the planets making an aspect to it.

Domicile: Cancer (Very strong here), Exaltation: Taurus (strong here), Detriment: Capricorn (Weak here), Fall: Scorpio (Very weak here)

Lorelai Gilmore (Gilmore Girls) Personality Profile

MBTI: ENFP

Extraverted Intuition (Ne) - Introverted Sensing (Si)

Lorelai is most definitely an extrovert; she is highly verbal, responsive, expressive, and engaged with the outer world. She likes to jump into stories and uses a lot of metaphors or analogies, coming up with unlikely stories on the spot. She is very witty and often sarcastic; she loves to mock and fins it amusing to assign emotions and names to objects. Often easily bored, she prioritizes having fun as a lifestyle. She has a verbal comment or comeback for any situation, is rarely tongue tied, and has an easy banter with anyone. This is consistent with Ne. On the flip side, Lorelai does not fit in with the Chilton parents, or her own parents; she is too free spirited and outspoken and is not very anchored to her past experiences and traditions. This is her weakness. She seems like she is forever running away from her origins or the moments that made her (Her parents, her family, the world she left behind at 16). She can’t seem to learn from experience, or reflect on the decisions she has made and why she has made them, which makes her blind to her usual patterns (mostly romantic ones) that are, for the people around her, quite obvious. She has a distaste for tradition, etiquette or decorum. She is not someone who is conventional, at all, and she cannot bring herself to do tedious physical tasks (like cooking, exercising, or cleaning). And yet, she can't escape her past. This is all consistent with inferior Si!

Introverted Feeling (Fi) - Extraverted Thinking (Te)

Lorelai is an open-minded, non-judgmental person, and she prides herself on that, being the opposite of her parents and all. Nonetheless, if someone or something she cares about contradicts her own values, you will hear of it, and she won't back down. Lorelai, at times, can be quite stubborn and closed-minded, focused only on how she feels in the moment without taking into account other people's needs or point of views. As a rule, she bases her decisions on how she feels about things, or what she believes is right and wrong, or on how it might impact the people she truly cares about (Rory, Sookie or Luke, mostly). This is consistent with Fi, a function that is, for Lorelai, specifically triggered anytime she comes into contact with her parents and their rigid, conventional world! She judges everyone, from her perceived pedestal of righteousness, the whole time. Her values are the right ones, so these people. in her mind, are all doing it wrong! As for her tertiary Te, you mostly see it in her direct and sometimes tactless nature, and in her efficiency at work. She has no problem being productive and taking control of various tasks, which makes her a skilled manager and owner.

Enneagram: 7w6

Type 7 - The Enthusiast

The Busy, Variety-Seeking Type: Spontaneous, Versatile, Acquisitive, and Scattered

Basic Fear: Of being deprived and in pain

This is a fear that isn't directly explored throughout the show, but can still be discerned. Lorelai was miserable in her parents world; the rules, the boredom, the lack of authenticity, the superficiality. She wanted to be set free; to rebel, to explore, to have fun! She absolutely cannot stand boredom.

Basic Desire: To be satisfied and content—to have their needs fulfilled

This desire if just a tiny bit selfish; which is a trait Lorelai definitely has; she lives in her own world of puns and jokes and stories, following her own rules and constantly bringing people and situations back to a positive emotion. This desire to have all her needs met, mixed with her fear of deprivation, might explain why she has such a hard time committing to a relationship. What if there's something better?

Holy Idea; Wisdom, Sobriety. Sin; Gluttony, Planning.

It would be healthy for Lorelai to stop distracting herself from pain; it detaches her from her own wisdom, and from the people she loves. Learning to acknowledge the half-empty part of the glass helps with sanity, empathy, connection and realism. She must resist her constant need for more, for better, for funnier; by running towards something, you may actually be escaping.

Key motivations: Want to maintain their freedom and happiness, to avoid missing out on worthwhile experiences, to keep themselves excited and occupied, to avoid and discharge pain (remember when Rory and her are in a fight while Rory is in Paris? She never stops working and starts doing her employees' chores instead of admitting or facing her sadness and her anger!).

Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness.

Why she has a 6 wing

We see that Lorelai still has a need to belong; to Rory, to her home, to Stars Hollow, to being an Innkeeper, even to her parents; there are certain foundations she simply never seeks to change or let go of. She has the reliability and loyalty of a six, and does show certain moments of irrationality due to fear, worry and anxiety, although not often.

Hogwart's House (based on sortinghatchat's system)

Slytherin Primary (The why): Lorelai's core motivation is sometimes a little hard to discern, since she is very adaptable and laid-back, and has very few raw emotional moments. What makes Lorelai who she is, I believe, is her incredible loyalty to her own ambitions and to her own people. She will always be there for Rory, for Christopher, for Sookie, and for Luke. Her people always come first, before causes and heroism, before strangers, and before truth or knowledge. We simply see no traces of the motivations that make the other houses. Consistent with this water house, she demonstrates resourcefulness and cleverness, a disinterest of the people she doesn't consider her own (think her parents and the people they socialize with, for example) and a lot of ambition and drive (From maid to manager? Opening her own successful inn?). She is a Slytherin! See; Slytherins are not evil, just a bit more self-centered, which is perfectly fine.

Hufflepuff Secondary (the how): When it comes to her methods, Lorelai would fit right in with Hufflepuff's. She's hardworking and reliable, slowly and consistently working towards her goal. In Lorelai's professional life, everything is earned with effort; her community, her position as a manager, opening her own inn, getting her own inn. You can count on Lorelai to be there, to take care of the things and the people she has invested in. She attains her goals on her own, by dedicating herself fully to her tasks, making them fun, making them her own, and doing them with a smile. By investing in something, one way or another, you end up reaping the benefits.

Just for fun (Quick Typing)

Archetypes

Rebel, Jester, Explorer

Planet

Mercury (The planet of Adaptability, Cleverness, Novelty, Communication and Open-mindedness) and Uranus (the planet of Principles, Originality, Freedom, the Unexpected and Unconventional)

Major Arcana: The Fool

Key Theme: Beginning

Correspondence: Uranus, Air

Key Words: Innocence, beginning, birth, limitless potential, naiveté, excitement, discovery, liberation, leap of faith, playfulness, freedom, curiosity, fearlessness, recklessness, new cycle, irresponsible, embracing, trusting, the unknown, renewal, optimism.

Uranus: eccentricity, unicity, progressivity, unexpected change, rebellion, idealism, God of the sky and the heavens, originality, individuality, innovation, discovery, irresponsibility, reactive, electricity.

The innocent splits in two, the Magician and the High priestess, before reuniting again as the World (Now wise from experience and lessons learned).

This is the absence of fear, complete faith within. A desire to unify with ourselves and the world. This is our immortal soul, before materializing in a physical body and experiencing fear and the illusion of opposites. Mindfulness; expecting nothing, fearing nothing.

Pure bliss, worry free, unaware of dangers and consequences, free spirit. Being so ready, totally honest, not paying attention to where we are going, a chance we might fall off a cliff. A fool in love. So many clouds. Eros, eternal child, clown. The dog represents animal instincts (our genes) guiding our way to compensate for lack of understanding and knowledge (Experience.)

As a personality: fearless, courageous, taking risks, journeyman, the hero’s journey, balance of wisdom and foolishness, not taking life too seriously, constantly learning, testing boundaries, unconventional, open to experiencing whatever comes, flowing with life, enthusiastic, taking chances, non-judgmental

The Sun in Astrology; It's psychological function

Astrology divides the human mind into different facets or functions, each represented by a planet and it's meaning. If we were to make an analogy with a castle, the Sun is the King at the head of the table, i.e., our psyche. The King listens to it's counsel (the other planets and the function they represent), but, ultimately, needs to make the best decision according to his role and mission. If the king is malfunctioning, or otherwise unhealthy, the whole kingdom (our psyche) is subject to disintegration. The Sun is tasked with our individuation and the fulfillment of our potential. The characteristics of our sun sign and the particular strengths created by the planets that aspects it is not something we are born with; it is something we grow into, someone we become. Being linked to a yearly cycle, the Sun represents our greater goals, values, dreams and desires.

Sun: Spirit, Purpose, Destiny, Goals, Uniqueness, Ideal, Journey, Growth, Ego, Self, Life direction, Vitality, Energy, Consistency, Heart, Treasure, Elixir, Consciousness, Father, King, Courage, Strength, Personal myth, Inspiration, Creativity, Visibility, Fame, Authority, Envy, Warmth, Brightness, Willpower, Patriarchy, Individual, Heroism, Climbing, Striving, Individuation, Fulfillment, Divinity, Faith

My basic identity and conscious purpose.

Urge: to be and to create. Need to be recognized and to express self, to have wellbeing and psychological integration, to play one’s assigned part in the wholeness of life, to embody our natural vocation or calling.

Function: The development of a coherent, operational, and healthy ego and self-individuality. The focusing of one’s willpower and capacity for positive action. Expressing and radiating our sun qualities to feel complete and fulfilled.

Key Questions: Who am I? What am I here for? What experiences help me strengthen and clarify my self image? Where can I find and expand my personal power? What unconscious biases shape my view of the world?

As gift giver (Synastry): To charge and revitalize. To push into active manifestation. To encourage. To support. To spotlight.

As thief (Synastry): To eclipse. To overwhelm. To dominate. To burn out. To distort. To mold.

Source; The Inner Sky, Steven Forrest

To understand the way to fulfill this urge, accomplish this function, and answer the key questions, look to the traits and characteristics of your Sun sign, the house the Sun is in, and the planets making an aspect to it.

Domicile: Leo (Very strong here), Exaltation: Aries (Strong here), Detriment: Aquarius (Weak here), Fall: Libra (Very weak here)

Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) Personality Profile

INFP

Introverted Feeling (Fi) – Extraverted thinking (Te):

Wanda’s weakness is considering other people's wellbeing and making decisions logically (it takes her a long time to hear the concerns of the residents of Westview and how they might be feeling, and there is nothing logical about escaping into a new reality that you can barely control and cannot stay in for long), which means she would have, as an inferior function, extraverted thinking, a function that considers the practical and logical conclusions of the external world. Wanda is caught up in her own feelings, in her subjective experience of her grief, in prioritizing what she personally values regardless of how others might react, which is consistent with an unbalanced introverted feeling. When made aware of the suffering she is causing, this new reality conflicts with her values, and she changes her behavior instantly. She does not readily express her emotions with words; mostly with her action, but we do see her Fi when she says her goodbyes to her kids and Vision at the end of the series. ('Thank you for choosing me to be your mom' 'You are my sadness and my hope. But mostly, you are my love')

Extraverted Intuition (Ne) – Introverted Sensing (Si):

Wanda might be looping in the show, her Si feeding her intense feelings of grief, choosing to resist her reality and clinging to the past to soothe her pain, trying to control and organize her external reality to support her Fi needs. She bases her alternate reality on sitcoms she enjoyed with her family in her youth. (Fi-Si) But, her Ne is still flagrant; it is, combined with chaos magic, what allows her to create such a fantastic alternate reality, making 'what could be' come alive based on her own personal values (Ne supporting Fi). She also demonstrates a remarkable ability to adapt quickly to incoming threats, using her stored information to envision innovative solutions (the use of runes to defeat Agatha; Ne and Si). Plus, she has a difficult grasp on reality, which is something intuitives might experience, lacking the needed strength of their sensing function to anchor them. Since she is looping and resisting information, her Ne is difficult to observe generally, but we do see it in action at the end of the series, when Scarlet Witch is busy soaking up the book of the damned while Wanda casually drinks a cup of tea on her porch (Typical Ne multi-tasking).

Enneagram 9w8

Wanda is, at the time of the WandaVision show, quite an unhealthy nine who avoids her pain and trauma by escaping into the creation of a trouble-free, peaceful and idealistic world where everything is as it should be. Let’s compile the proof of confirmation:

Type 9 - The Peacemaker

The Easygoing, Self-Effacing Type: Receptive, Reassuring, Agreeable, and Complacent

Basic Fear: Of loss and separation

Wanda has lost and been separated from her love, Vision. She shares with Pietro that she felt alone and empty, an endless nothingness, which brought her to, quite uncontrollably, escape into the made-up reality of Westview. To face this loss, this separation, is her basic fear throughout the show, probably due to her past trauma, and it takes her much strength to finally do so.

Basic Desire: To have inner stability and "peace of mind"

Wanda loves the word ‘fine’ to describe situations, other people, or even her internal state. She does not try to figure out what’s going on when confronted with multiple signs that something is wrong, even if she admits later that she doesn’t know how any of it happened. She proceeds to rewind and re-record when trouble can’t be brushed off. She simply wants to have a normal family life and, as Vision says, ‘Stay home and watch TV’. She desires to ‘fit into’ the community of Westview.

Holy Idea; Love, Action. Sin; Sloth, Indolence.

Why is she doing all of this, really? For love; for Vision. She shows indolence by not wanting to face her problems. She has to step into action to become healthy again (face the consequences of her action, risk losing the people she loves, have to battle enemies, make sense of what happened, grieve Vision and what their life could have been)

Key motivations: Want to create harmony in their environment (creates a simple life based on funny sitcoms from her youth, where characters don’t get hurt, because ‘It’s not that kind of show’), to avoid conflicts and tension (everything is always fine, Wanda always dismisses problems and simply wants to be in harmony with her family, she gets angry when Vision pushes her to argue, and when she starts to lose control, she wears PJ’s and watches TV), to preserve things as they are (Wanda does not accept her new life as a griever; she escapes it through her powers), to resist whatever would upset or disturb them (She resists the many attempts by Vision and others to get her to wake up and face the real world)

Nines are accepting, trusting, and stable. They are usually creative, optimistic, and supportive, but can also be too willing to go along with others to keep the peace. They want everything to go smoothly and be without conflict, but they can also tend to be complacent, simplifying problems and minimizing anything upsetting. They typically have problems with inertia and stubbornness.

Why she is not an 8 (but has an 8 wing)

Wanda does show a desire to control her environment and resist being controlled or harmed by others. Yet, she uses the tools of the enneagram 8 to achieve her core enneagram 9 motivations described above. So, the domineering and intimidating side of her personality comes from her 8 wing, but she is, at her core, a 9.

Hogwart’s House (based on sortinghatchats system)

Slytherin primary (Motivation); you might think that she would be a Gryffindor, prioritizing some sort of innate morality, but her actions come from a loyalty to a select few. She fought Stark Industries, not because it was wrong of them to participate in wars that destroyed families, but because they killed her parents in the process. She attempts to steal Vision's remains to give him a funeral, not because it is right to do so, but because he is her love, and she wants to honor him. When the people she has chosen as her tribe are not involved in a problem, she doesn't use her power for good, which a Gryffindor would do. She also easily threatens and hurts people who cross her. (During WandaVision, she is similar in her motivations to burned Slytherin primary Agatha, both thinking only of themselves. Contrast her to Ravenclaw primary Vision, who consistently seeks truth and understanding.)

Watch this video for confirmation and laughs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tnH0gTWe5o&ab_channel=charmbooked

Gryffindor secondary (Methods); Wanda just wings it. She charges ahead with blunt honesty. There is no masking, no side-stepping; she tells you what she wants, what she feels, and she makes sure you get it. She could have tried manipulating Agatha and earning her trust, for example, but Wanda is honest from the start, very clear on her intentions. She does the same with the FBI, and with Monica. What you see is what you get. This loyalty to being herself, no matter what, makes her heroic, in a way, and we can't help but look up to her at the end, when she wins and becomes the Scarlet Witch. (Compare her to Ravenclaw secondary Agatha, who has all the knowledge, and tells Wanda just so; 'Power isn't your problem, it's knowledge.' Agatha underestimates Wanda's ability to improvise on the spot; she wrongfully believes, due to her own subjective biases, that everyone would need knowledge and preparation to succeed. She is proven wrong.)

The Warrior Archetype

Source: Awakening the Heroes Within, Carol S. Pearson

Goal and purpose

The warrior is represented by an army of soldiers who ventures out of their kingdom in order to expand it and fight for its interest. It is also the armed guards, standing watch on the walls surrounding the kingdom, making sure that no incoming threats could breach the defenses.

The warrior is about fighting for what we want and winning the competition. It's also about protecting and defending our boundaries, asserting our will, and expressing our identity.

The kingdom in question might be constituted of only ourselves, but it may (and should) also include our loved ones, our causes and ideals, and our social groups.

Qualities and weaknesses

The warrior must face enemies and overcome obstacles in order to fulfill its purpose. It uses weapons and tactics, creates a battle plan, and seeks to win.

The warrior must display strength, courage, honor, integrity, skill, dexterity, resourcefulness, focus, will, drive, resilience and clarity.

In order to do so, it has to repress anything that might make him paralyzed, afraid, incompetent or indecisive. This is where its weakness lies; it denies emotion and nuance, leading it's life with an aggressive and steadfast stance, forgetting his own humanity and that of others.

Divine masculine

The Warrior is the first masculine energy we experience in our lives. It is part of the first four archetypes in Jung's archetypal journey, which are constitute the ego phase. The Innocent, the Orphan, the Warrior and the Caregiver make up the foundation of our personality. They are the most basic energies, expressed clearly in the family unit; the child is both the Innocent and the Orphan, the father is the Warrior, and the mother is the Caregiver. Together, they balance each other out and allow each archetype to be expressed in a wise and healthy way.

The Warrior archetype is alive in both men and women, but there is no denying that most men are masculine, and most women are feminine, so this archetype is often associated with men in our society, and with good reasons. This archetype has a Yang energy, assertive, direct and aggressive, and it justly represents the divine masculine.

Relationships with the other ego archetypes

To be balanced and have a positive expression, the Warrior archetype needs to be in touch with the Innocent, the Orphan and the Caregiver.

To be in touch with the Innocent means that the Warrior is able to believe in a better world, to see the best in people, to have dreams he seeks, and to strive for an ideal vision he wishes to bring to life.

To be in touch with the Orphan means that the Warrior is aware of his own wounds, his vulnerabilities, and his pessimistic beliefs. He knows when fear and distrust is getting the best of him, and he seeks to heal, not only himself, but the people around him.

To be in touch with the Caregiver means that the Warrior feels and shows compassion, empathy and understanding in his dealings with others. He chooses people and causes he cares about and seeks to protect them and defend their interests.

Through these different relationships, the Warrior never turns excessive in both his strengths and weaknesses.

Highest level of the Warrior archetype

The mature Warrior moves from black and white thinking to a more nuanced perception of individuals and situations. It is able to live within the true realm of morality, one that is filled with multiple shades of gray. No longer is the Warrior a slave to the automatic assignment of the hero-villain-victim dynamic; a victim in one situation might be a hero in another, and a villain in one context might be a hero in different setting.

The Warrior stops fighting concrete or physical opponents, because he understands that the true enemies live within all of us; the human flaws, the weaknesses, the sins. It fights an enemy that is also within him, making him more honorable, moral, acting with integrity.

A mature warrior doesn't use violence and aggression as his weapon of choice. He matches his defense to his opponent, using wit, intelligence, understanding, resources, or even connections, to find a solution that is beneficial for all. Win-win solutions are what he is after, and he does not seek to add unnecessary suffering.

Lastly, a mature warrior chooses his battle wisely, and is able to move to other archetypes when the time to fight and protect has passed.

Overexpressed Warrior archetype

If you have an overexpressed Warrior archetype, you might always be ready for battle. You constantly pick fights with the people around you, and every situation becomes an opportunity for you to disagree and show dominance. You might be incredibly selfish, not considering the negative consequences of you getting your own way. Standing still, feeling at peace, showing compassion, is a constant struggle for you.

You need to become balanced with the other three ego archetypes, as explored above. It is important for you to move to expressing these from time to time. Exercise might be a good option too in order to have an outlet for your aggressive energy.

Underexpressed Warrior archetype

If you have an under-expressed Warrior archetype, everyone can walk all over you. Boundaries are lacking, and you do not assert your identity and your will. You might not know what you want out of life, and if you do, you certainly don't do what's necessary to get it. You may become lazy and unmotivated, or you might end up living a life you don't recognize, that doesn't suit you in any way, having followed other people's will. You don't evolve, grow, or feel fulfilled.

Assertive training would be healthy here. Learning to say know, discovering your true self, exploring your beliefs and your desires, would all be beneficial. Reconnecting with your anger might be a good fuel to awaken your drive and your energy.
