Any tips on telling the difference between e7s and e8s ?

weirdly enough I believe E7 and E8 to have allot of similarities.

Lust and Indulgement

Sense for freedom

Assertive

Frustration with attachments

And allot of 7s can look like 8s (Han Solo SP7)

Vice Versa Katherine Pierce SP8 (looking like a SP7)

The 7

However the differences can be seen on how they approach life. The 7 yearns for freedom and pleasure (by pleasure I mean a general enjoyment of life) thats why their biggest problem is Gluttony. They want to enjoy everything at its fullest. Allot 7s imo have a 3 ish material desire BUT unlike the E3 who likes pretty things due to its aesthetic and value, the 7 enjoys them for the joy it brings to them.

Gluttony in the enneagram is an excessive need to consume indulgence.

The 8

Unlike the 7 the 8 doesn't look to enjoy things but rather have a full anatomical control of itself. The 8 tend to have a black and white view of things. They are natural go getters and dont mind being more abrupt about the things they want unlike the 7 who is more calm. Which is why their vice is lust incredibly fitting imo.

Lust in the enneagram is an intense desire to get X not usually sexual in nature but can be.

Characters to contrast them

Elite: Guzman (ESTJ 8w7 sp/sx) vs Christian (ESFP 7w8 sp/sx)

SATC: Miranda (ESTJ 8w9 sp/sx) vs Samantha (ESTP 7w8 sp/sx)

GOT: Cersei Lannister (ESTJ 8w9 sp/sx) vs Tyrion (ENTP 7w8 sp/so)

LOK Korra (ESFP 8w7 so/sx) vs Bolin ( ENFP 7w6 sx/so)

SW: Leia Organa (ENTJ 8w9 so/sp) vs Han (ESTP 7w8 sp/sx)

Inuyasha: Inuyasha (ESTP 8w7 sx/sp) vs Miroku (ENTP 7w6 sx/so)

TBOSAS: Sejanus (ESFP 8w9 so/sx) vs Lucy Gray (ENFP 7w6 sx/so)

Note: Sorry for taking so long to answer college has been difficult to handle due to graduation.

Note #2: I'll try and post unhealthy/ healthy type 6 this week.

FAST FACTS

while in school, essie accidentally fell pregnant (boyfriend/casual fling/one night stand), and thought briefly she could do both - be successful and be a mother

essie had bigger plans than being a mother, so being pregnant in her early twenties was not ideal

after giving birth, she tried the mothering thing before deciding she couldn't do that and instead gave her daughter up for adoption

then essie focused entirely on her career and climbing the ladder at anunnaki until she made it to coveted cfo

never had time for too many relationships, comes off as harsh, believes in the future that anunnaki can bring

she's the kind of person that either loves you, hates you, or if for some reason you don't fall in either of those categories she forgets you exist

more to come...

who is a.d. of nox's astrology?

as i continue to go through and fix all the links on my blog, i noticed that i have a few posts that give some insight about me, but nothing strictly covering who i am.

call me a.d., call me nox, call me a.d.nox.

as i have said before in my nyx post, it's a pseudonym! i resonate most with the roman goddess of darkness, thus i like her name and made it part of mine for all my writing needs.

my enthusiasm for astrology starts wayyy back when i started studying astronomy in second grade. that was about the same time i started learning about mythology because the man who taught astronomy at my school was from a wampanoag indian tribe. i don't know where that man is today, but shout out to him teaching me all about the constellations!

my enjoyment of astrology never really dissipated all these years, but my interest in starting a blog arose when i saw astrology come up more frequently on tiktok in 2020. as the avid reader and literature major that i am i was a bit worried that some asteroids were getting a bad wrap or being oversimplified. origin stories, myths, and legends have always been of the upmost importance to me so i thought why not share my thoughts!

so here i am about a year later - still going strong!

as for tarot, i have been studying tarot for nine years now (holy crap - i sound old).

both of these practices are something i wouldn't deem myself an expert in because everyday i still find myself learning something i didn't know before. so this is a safe space for everyone to learn no matter your experience level! there is no such thing as a stupid question - remain openminded on my blog and all will be well.

some other stuff about me that's not occult oriented: i'm an entj-t, 8w9, i studied forensic psychology before i became an english major (i graduate/graduated may 2023), i consume all media as if i was a glutton at a feast, i went to art school briefly and my medium was photorealism, i write/wrote on my university's paper, i am constantly listening to music (i'm a.d.nox on spotify as well), i taught myself cooking and baking at age 12, i hate small talk (please never just write me with "hi"), and i love dinosaurs lol.

for more about me in terms of astrology check out the following posts:

about my most prominent aspect: pluto opposite jupiter

i hate bullying: this is a no bullying zone

my big 3's aesthetic

my chart breakdown

my original introduction: 20th post (nyx), 20 facts about me

my pantone

my scorpio moon stare

my 6h v. my taste in animals

q&a: your questions, my answers

The Centers as sliding scales

Welcome to today’s entry from the Theory Post List

The idea here is to try & pin some fundamental mechanism that holds regardless of functionality level and complexes around it, and perhaps serve as a guide for ppl to pin the wings on their fixes if so desired.

Impulse Triad

8w7 – There’s almost no filter. Any impulse naturally comes and goes just as quickly once expressed. Sometimes more sanguine than choleric.

Im going to make the bold assertion that if you have this even as your last fix you’ve probably a tendency to sometimes blurt stuff out without thinking. If its your core theres no other filter on top, so you just do stuff.

8w9 – There is some delay, so the individual is not quickly provoked to response, but once the swing comes, it still comes all the way with no holding back, with a bit of extra pressure from the delay

9w8 – There’s still some tendency to simply act on the impulse, but the stronger it is, the more dissipation & delay you see. As a result, the individual shows irritation on small matters, but avoids far-reaching confrontations. This is probably the most ‚normal‘ configuration.

9w1 – Dissipation is the default, so you get a very ‚nice, civilized‘ person that is very hard to provoke into a reaction. What can’t be dissipated is redirected. So they may feel that they ‚should‘ always be nice in a way that 9w8 doesn’t.

1w9 – Little natural impulses get through – what isn’t redirected is dispersed. Hence usually a measured, sober or tightly controlled appearance.

The keyword is ‚directness‘ – Rather than natural impulses coming and going, there is a „linear motor“. The person starts and doesn’t stop. Actions are almost always deliberate & hence often focussed or meticulous – hence quickly changing goals are disliked.

1w2 – Pure redirection, with no dispersion.

Hence the difference in that 1w9s can come off stilted or subdued whereas 1w2s often read as passionate (preachers, political types etc.). 1w9 dissipates impulses that don’t pass the filter; 1w2 is pure redirection so the redirected response has the full ‚swing‘ of the original impulse behind it.

1w9 and 9w1 would hence appear as the ‚least animalistic‘/ ‚most civilized‘, in a diffuse vs. Controlled way respectively.

It’s also worth noting that the 1 component redirection is a quick, kneejerk thing based on subjective sensations of disgust, comfort or alignment, not a thought-through deliberate choice like what mental type would do – hence, its much quicker & less ‚costly‘ than thinking it through explicitly.

It’s like using a heuristic in optimization.

Emotional Triad

This has often been conceptualized with regards to identity – with 2 getting it from the outside, 4 from inner preferences and 3 both impressing others & inwardly deciding what ideals to embody. – Or which parts of identity one stresses, alone stuff preferences & flaws, tangible archievements or relationship-related stuff – in both those frameworks wings would represent indeterminate settings like a 3w2 would stress archievements but also relationships – objective proof of popularity exists at this overlap, whereas 3w4 would have more ‚self-mythology‘ & rely more on conceptual ideas like wealth and titles.

But I think an even more fundamental underlying quality that the above ultimately derives from is directness and manner of emotional expression.

2 expresses directly (& hence leans a bit into action/impulse), 3 uses shared associations, 4 uses personal associations, mostly processes inwardly, showing the refined products of that inner processing through symbolic gestures.

You can see this rather well in art:

2: rather direct descriptions of feelings – im crying, i cant sleep, i was shaking etc.

3: pop culture references & cultural associations – ‚just like the movies‘, comparison to famous places or cultural tropes etc.

4: metaphors and symbolism made up on the spot – sometimes curating one’s own defined set personal aesthetic like Victorian Madwoman or Antichrist Superstar

Advertisement is sort of a cheap mass-produced knockoff of the 3 strategy – to make the masses associate certain emotions & aesthetics with a product. 3s call up the association the audience already has, 4s illustrate their own associations & use those but it’s a difference in strategy.

Hence why 2s are rarer in artists cause they express their feelings right away directly through actions. There isn’t a backlog that needs processing. Of course a 2 could still be repressed due to a tragic backstory or just do art simply because they want to/ for the love of it, they’re just less likely to need it as an outlet. Loads of ppl would prefer concrete actionable help over ‚look I worked long hours to buy us this suburban house, which is associated with happy families‘ or symbolic/romantic gestures. It’s just a difference in how ppl show love.

There you see the overlap with the analogies predominating in Conceptland, but unlike the head types 4 still has that primarily personal lens. (same for distinguishing, say, 2 and 9)

Often when a heart type tries to talk about a ‚big picture‘ narrative, they often turn it into a personal story.

Like a 3 will discuss an election & talk mostly about how her boyfriend supported her & how everyone was acting „like highschool students“, or 4 will do a song about a natural disaster by telling the story of an individual victim losing their beloved in the storm.

With head types you often see the opposite – „this shitty relationship is a metaphor for whats wrong with society“. Can’t help but fit it into a pattern.

2w1 – all direct expression, hence, feelings are often shown through action & service

2w3 – mostly direct expression, but with some shared associations that are put to the purpose of direct connection. Like wanting to be pretty like a celebrity so a particular person will like you.

3w2 – Referencing common associations predominates but still mixed with some direct expression, but there has been a shift in focus – getting direct adoration not as an end onto itself but as proof that you have ‚objectively measurable‘ popularity. The idea that if you do the things that are connected with worth & recognition you’ll get worth & recognition themselves that way.

3w4 – using common associations, but with personal style & flourishes, telling an embellishes life story etc. but still of the purpose of evoking association in others.

4w3 – stiff references common symbols but puts primarily them in their own context. For example, might have a thing about shakespeare because shakespeare is considered cultivated and deep, but will lampshade their own interpretation of it.

4w5 – Own associations only. Which means you need to lean a bit into the mental center to make them, though the purpose is still the refinement & expression of feelings.

Since you want others to respond your channel of expression, the different ways of attaining personal validation (& hence the identity stuff) follow as a consequence.

Mental Triad

The breakthrough realization here is that 6 is all about seeing information in context – such as relationships, agendas, morality, practical use etc. & generally having a sensitivity to context. It’s the ‚systhematic‘ intelligence.

7 then is multi-context thinking whereas 5 is looking at things apart from or independent of the original context, and the w6 variant of each is basically ‚still considering the original context a little bit‘. (& can’t avoid worrying about it, hence this is usually the more overtly anxious variant.)

It figures then why there’s a line of connection between the two because once you’ve taken something out of its context it becomes easier to plopp it in a new one, and conversely if you’re used to shifting things across contexts its a bit easier to see what remains the same every time.

7 is not just ‚associative‘, (that may describe 4 or 9 as well) but specifically improvisational. The extroverted ressourceful, thinking on your feet intelligence – you concoct a solution for this particular problem on the fly as needed & then move on.

Hence why Ti auxillaries are often 7 or w7 ‚activated on demand on behalf of the dominant‘ nature of the auxillary function. It’s making a solution, persuasive argument (...or rationalization) ad hoc as needed.

As for the 6s, there are some who masterfully apply the extra strenghts granted by their wing to practical problem solving with a perseverance that people with those cores probably wouldnt typically have, whereas others distrust & overcompensate for what they’d see as a tendency to stray from the safe waters of common sense. Like 6w7 believing that they or people in general are too easily taken in by new impressions, or 6w5s turning out really rigid or hypersceptical to avoid concocting any unrealistic nonsense.

Could be the same person depending on how confident they’re feeling today.

7w8 – all improv, hence leaning more on action/impulse.

7w6 – mostly improvisational but still particially using a ‚grid‘ or ‚map‘.

6w7 – mostly systhematic thinking but with a bit of improvisational – this is probably the most usual.

6w5 – systhematic thinking is strongly predominant, but with a bit of synthetizing function.

5w6 – still has some 6-like detail affinity & capacity to interface with other people’s maps or grids on a surface level, but they keep their own ‚filing system’.

Some individuals report a sense of being ‚probably incomprehensible‘ beneath a polite commonsense veneer and not wanting others to find that out.

5w4 – Everything gets plucked out of the OG context and put in your personal sorting algorithm, which means personal associations get mixed in or that it’ll be more shaped by your preferences. So it seems one cannot win, as one would be either be led astray by the crap of others or one’s own crap. The perfect midpoint of no undue influence is ellusive, if it exists at all.

hello, can i ask for a ship? i want to be shipped with a stranger things character who is 18 or older. i am a straight female.

i am usually reserved around people i don't really know but, i can be a bit loud (?) around friends. some people may describe me as cold and intimidating even though I'm actually just socially awkward.

my style/aesthetic changes a lot but it's usually alt/soft/y2k. my mbti is intj and my enneagram is 8w9. my sign is cancer.

i have black hair with wolfcut and black eyes. my height is 4'11. i am asian and i have tan skin.

my hobbies are drawing and reading. i can play guitar a bit and i'm planning on learning bass. i also really like watching movies, mostly chick flicks and arthouse movies. my favorite band/singer is mcr and mitski.

if i'm in stranged things i am probably friends with robin. for the scenario can i have a movie date?

that's all! thank you and have a good day <3

i ship you with eddie munson! i think he found it cute how you were reserved around him before you got to know him and it made him want to pursue you and get you out of your shell more espcially when the kids would talk about things you did/said. you can often be found reading while eddie plays the gutair next to you, sometimes he offers to teach you and other times you just peacfullly spend time together.

"really the breakfast club again?" eddie drags out as he looks at the selection of movies you brought over for date night, "i don't care how much you like it theres no way i'm watching that," he points, "again" "oh come on eds" you laugh, "please?" putting on your best puppy dog eyes from you position on the couch, eddie lets out a defeated sigh, "fine but only because we" he gestures back and forth, "will be making out the whole time!" your boyfriend announces, "eddie!" you screech, "we will not." you laugh as he joins you under the blanket after setting up the movie, he adjust so he comfy before raising his arm for you to snuggle under - you oblige and nestle into his side as the opening credits begin to play.

enjoy sweet!
