Sun In Aquarius: How does your enneagram type steal fire?
In this episode I take a comparative look at the archetype of Aquarius and the Prometheus myth, and how this archetypal story can relate to the 9 enneagram types.
Prometheus disobeyed Zeus by gifting humanity with the fire of Olympus, taking humanity from a lowly disempowered state and allowing humans to become strong and more like the gods. The story changes everything about the earthly journey. Fire gives us light. It gives us warmth. It allows us to cook our food.
Similarly, Aquarius is associated with the spark of potentiality, the energy of what could be and the forward vision to hold it all. Aquarius is the energy of innovation, of the future, and progress. It is a progressive and thinking energy that challenges existing norms. It is the spark of light in the darkness.
Each of the 9 Enneagram types carries this innovative and futuristic energy in its own way. Check out the episode to learn more about how your enneagram type steals fire for the benefit of humanity

In this episode I continue to discuss the Enneagram types and anger during Mars retrograde in Cancer, but this time we also look at the deeper roots of anger: family dynamics and ancestral trauma. Just like peeling the layers of the onion, we can use this Mars retrograde alongside the Enneagram to go deeper and get to the source of pain that lives beneath anger.

Seriously? Sherpa bags

You’re welcome! Glad the episode was helpful! Thanks for commenting!
Hi I'm so glad I found you! I have barely found anyone who is interested in the crossover between astrology and the Enneagram! Why are we so rare? Both modalities are so valuable! Astrology for the things we don't [really?] have control over and the Enneagram for what we do have control over. Fate and free will. Anyway, I just left a long term relationship with a sp 5w6- he has Saturn in Libra (he has a type two heart). My dad is a sx 5w6 and he's got Saturn in leo. I just wrote a piece on Jordan Peterson's Saturnian t-square - I believe he's a 6w5, and he's got Saturn in Aquarius. - 4w5
Wow! Very cool! Thanks for sharing this. Glad my work is resonating for you. There is so much overlap between the enneagram and astrology. Helen Palmer even wrote a paper on it some years ago. I see one as the heavenly mandate (the chart) and the other as our earthly mandate (our enneagram). Most importantly, bringing them together really seems to help people, so it’s a path I take with them. Thanks again for commenting!
Thank you for sharing this ~ what a journey Allison had/has... to go through all of that and to turn and help others as she does... wow.

This video makes me sound like I'm depressed and self-centered and that I am not.
Don’t get tangled in the shadow, which is what I often focus on in episodes. If you’ve done a lot of work, you won’t express this way. But it’s still in the enneagram dance. Thanks for commenting. (And feel free to express what it is like to live out your 4 from a higher expression!).
@mariamandarino-wisdom-teacher upon further consideration, I realize that some of this is contingent upon one's personality type, so we react accordingly. I am an infj, for whatever that's worth, and I refuse to sit and stew in a pity party, and I focus on others more than myself, but I will pull the plug if I am neglected. I also don't do drama. Although once I've had enough it may come across that way. I admit, I am the definition of a walking contradiction.
@@ladyraspberry very interesting insights! I'm wondering if you might be able to 4w5 with that INFJ?
Interesting. I am not into the astrological signs, though tension is surely running everywhere it seems... not just politically. Using Flower essences really helps this 6 /wing 5 not take the bait, but it is still a conscious choice, which is a very focused thing.. (Transform it!) Spouse is a 7/ wing 8 and is a forceful type. ( Oy veh...) Can't make the webinar, but appreciate your uploads.
Glad you are using the flower essences! Thanks commenting. (Also, if you can’t make the webinar, if you register, you will get the recoding emailed to you to watch later).
I liked very much how you separated what is a high expression in this type and what is a low expression.
Thanks for commenting. This is the essence of the enneagram to me… we are never just one expression; we hold all the reflections of our type. And when we are enneagram-aware we can better choose our expression (higher self over shadow self). Glad the information resonated!
Depression is different from just being moody - even if you mean very very very moody. We are a little too stubborn and passionate IMHO to develop depression. It's not deep depression, it's despair and it gets rightaway (self)destructuve. We can get lost in our fantasies for hours on end (4s on the unhealthy spectrum), but we ride an emotional roller coaster to get stuck on one thing alone. Depression (clinically) means being somehow stuck, not being able to feel anything, or to change a feeling that swallows oneself and so things get slow mo. We get slow motion from despair, but that isn't depression. Great God! We DO feel things and I mean a LOT of them. Fast changing emotions. Even if it means getting from grief to joy and then grief again and then sadness. Our slow motion, I repeat is desperation, which you happened to mention right afterwards. I'm getting concerned with this mixing of notions, though you were pretty good at explaining everything else. Depression is like being tied with an elastic - it always pulls you back to the initial spot; being a moody 4is like riding a jumping ball jumping from here to there from thorns to a surface of heated iron, to something itchy etc., causing us feel pain. I recommend 'Melancholia' by Lars vonTrier, for a better understanding of what being truly depressed is.
It’s all a spectrum and of course context matters greatly. Appearing depressed doesn’t always equate clinical depression. For instance the fast changing emotions has validity and I agree with your assessment, but it also depends where on the 4 spectrum the 4 is and how much work they’ve done, not to mention wings, stress and security types and subtypes. One thing you’ll never get out of my work is solid absolutes. The enneagram is fluid. Thanks so much for commenting!
Please provide time stamps for each type. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion. It takes a lot to run the channel and my private practice without a staff, so at this point, it’s not likely I’ll add time stamps to episodes. Also, there is context in the material and I hope people will watch the full episode for this reason too. I do aim to keep episodes short enough and I list the types in order (unless otherwise noted), so it should be pretty easy to track anything you’re looking for. Thanks again for commenting.

"How the hell do I properly Articulate this" >>>>> "Who could understand this." That's how I experience it
I can see that being a real Type 4 experience. Thanks for sharing that insight!
Thank you, Maria, for sharing this information on UA-cam and in your seminars.
You are very welcome! Glad you are enjoying the content!
Very interesting. I think my main point of conditioning is 4 but I relate to the 9 and 5 as well. Interestingly, my moon is in Cancer and I have a Libra rising which you mentioned the 4 and 9 explicitly in relationship to these signs in the moon and AC
Glad the episode got you thinking! If you lead with 4 you may have a 5 wing since you relate to some of the 5. And 4s can often seem like 9s. The key difference I’d say is 9s don’t care about being unique while 4s do. Thanks commenting!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
First time here! Very interesting. I would not have thought of mixing enneagrams with rising signs. For your added knowledge, I am a # 2 with Libra rising. Keeping my giving: people pleasing, in balance. Being pleasant to go with people pleasing. As an aside I discovered along the line, that my two spouses (I’m currently 74.). Are my wings: first spouse was a #8 - very bossy and my beloved second ( & current) spouse is a # 4: romantic with abandonment issues. So I view my Libra rising as helping me keep these two tendencies of mine in balance. Love the freshness of this new, to me, framework of looking at personality.
Glad you found the episode interesting and that you see the correlations between your enneagram and your rising sign. Interesting connections you've made too between your 8 and 4 lines and your spouses! Thanks for commenting!
Hi I have just seen u today for the first time. I didn’t know anything about my enneagram type. Hmmmm….freedom, beauty, will have to work out my enneagram. This video is fascinating. Subscribed ✔️
Wonderful! Happy to hear you found the channel and are inspired to explore your enneagram. Thanks for commenting and for subscribing! 🙏🏼
I'm a 4 (w5) and I don't necessarily see that strong a connection with the Taurus rising... The 4 is a heart type, it's community oriented. Taurus is an earth sign, "community" isn't exactly one of its top priorities. I would have guessed Leo or Aquarius for the 4, since they do care about the way they present themselves and how much they stand out or blend in with the crowd. Now, I am a _solar_ Taurus, but that's the part of me that wants to be left alone so I can do my own thing at my own pace (which is a very 4 thing, for sure)... But my Leo moon + rising are the ones pushing me towards seeking authentic and meaningful connections with others. And also, I'm currently wearing my hair purple, which is a stereotypical marker for both the Enn4 _and_ the Leo rising. I promise I began dying it before I learnt about any of these things LOL (all I knew was my 'zodiac sign' and I HATED it) Thank you for the video!
Thanks so much for your observations and expanding the conversation! Taurus is an Earth sign, but ruled by Venus, and so the sign is deeply tied to beauty, nature, elegance, value. So that’s the thread I pulled there for the 4. But I agree with you about Leo, especially the hair! I wonder though about the Fire of Leo (maybe more 4w3? Yet the Leo pride can also speak to 4w2). Subtypes will count for a lot on this one. And I can see Aquarius as well… 4s are so innovative and have a unique vision for humanity. So yes! Some good observations! Thanks for commenting!
What about Pisces rising?
Since I focused on the types first, there were only 9 signs I covered. But I’d lean toward Type 9 for Pisces Rising… there’s the dissolving of boundaries and of course Type 9 wants to merge. So there is similarity. But remember this is not a one for one approach since we have 9 types and 12 signs. This isn’t an exact science, but an approach meant to make us stretch and find new ways to understand who we are. Hope that helps!
I’m a 497 tritype and I’m Cap rising Scorpio sun and an Aquarius moon. I also have a Libra stellium so maybe that’s the nine. Very interesting video
Glad you enjoyed it and it got you thinking. I would agree on the 9 and the Libra stellium. Thanks for commenting!
This video was so interesting and I liked seeing angles of these rising signs that I might not've associated immediately with some of those Enneagram numbers. I'm a 4 (451 tritype) and my rising is Aquarius, which I feel relates to the individualistic and iconoclastic energy that 4 and 5 create often together. I have my Chiron in Taurus, though!
Glad you enjoyed the episode and glad it’s gotten you to make new associations! I agree about 4s also having Aquarian qualities! Yes! Thanks for commenting!
You have to distinguish waking up or essence work from self development which is oriented towards being more successful in the eyes of society or the ego which is basically more safety or status and this is not spirituality in AH-Almas sense or gurdjieff or any other spiritual master because the great work is not about success or being more efficient in achieving what the ego core needs are in attaining external goals to fulfill internal object relational needs the holes or wounds are only filled from essence which is soul embodiment it’s totally different kind of work they are not contradictory but they should not be confused and you have to be clear that no matter how much “ brave “ you get it wont fix the core issue or the roots i even read its far more dangerous to plunge into chaos and the unknown without having a good body-mind connection because the chaos got disintegrate and make the type worst The great work is psycho-somatic inner work on all levels and then the soul descend if the seeker cleared the vessel while self remembering to assist the seeker if they cross the threshold sincerely with surrendering their will to god or source or the universe
I can’t disagree, which is why much of your comment is beyond the capabilities of a basic UA-cam episode. The inner work is what we do in private session. Thanks for commenting.
The idea that 5s are unemotional is not true and isn’t even indicated by the Enneagram. (They are not robots.) Instinct is repressed in type 5, emotions scramble with the intellect. Many 5s are sensitive - it’s true that a lot of 5s disconnect from emotion in real time but that’s not a sign that they are unemotional. This sort of analysis causes a lot of 5s to mistype.
Much of what I talk about in the episodes has to do with the lower side of type. You are correct though, 5s don’t have easy access to the Heart Center (except through the harmony triad). So emotions are difficult, often overwhelming or even awkward, and require processing later. The level of emotionality also has to do with whether they are a 5w4 or 5w6, as well what their subtype is. Many factors come into play. The episodes can’t cover it all. That’s for deeper, personal, and more individualized work. I think it’s interesting you see 5s as mistyping themselves. My experience is most 5s land pretty solidly on their type and are pretty resolute about it. Thanks for commenting!
This was 👌

Glad the episode spoke to you. The key to change is always within ourselves. Doesn’t mean we can’t help. It does mean we can only do our own work.
Nice upload. As a 6... and one who journals... taking flower essences has helped me in a whole different level than I thought (ha!) possible. Was told by my alternative doctor to take Aspen ( "Don't think about it... just take it for a few months", she said.) Indeed, it has helped calm and quiet the 'unknown fears'/quivering in my soul' that was going on. But like a tissue box, more emotions pop up and there are flower essences that help deal with whatever it is. I haven't taken Scleranthus, but would be nice to have on hand, just the same. ( 'Be prepared'...lol... have all 38 + essences on hand to help others and self.) The essences don't do the work for you, but they support you through it so gently and without shame/blame for having the thoughts/issue. (Ahhhh...relief!) The issue/emotion is just temporary... and taking the flower essences, soon we are on the way to feeling and thinking healthier... with faith.
Aspen can be a great remedy for 6s! Depending on the nature of the fear, Mimulus can also be helpful. Glad you are using the remedies! Thanks for commenting!

I love your word: Narcitising... 😂 I have a word: Soulution ...
I think you may mean narcotizing. It’s a real word… in this context basically means numbing out and falling asleep to yourself. Soulution is a fabulous word as an antidote. 😊
Yes. I'm 7. Mercury rising, Leo. Sun conjunct Jupiter..
Which Mercurial sign? I’m guessing Gemini? (Virgo is also ruled by Mercury). Leo Sun conjoined Jupiter sure sounds very Type 7! Thanks for confirming my hunch!
Fabulous video
Thanks! 🤗
a LOT of this resonates with me, but the emotions part is not really accurate for me. I do feel them fairly strong, is just that there is a detachment from them. INTP type 5 is different than INTJ type 5 Joining mbti paints a more complete picture to me. - INTJ 5w4
Yep, I was going to say that sounds like 5w4.
Authenticity, thank-you, thank-you; all I saw was Drama...
That can happen too. It’s the difference between a healthy 4 and an unhealthy 4. Big drama in the unhealthy 4. You may want to look at my other episodes on Type 4. And if you want to see a really integrated Type 4, I recommend viewing my episode with Rodrigo Caldera. Thanks for commenting! 🙏🏼
Thank you for your insights Maria. I am a type 2w3.
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed the episode!
The confusing thing about type 6 is that while "safety" is always a huge priority for us, what "safety" looks like to us is very different depending on subtype, wings, level of health, and individual experiences. The stereotype of a hypervigilant person who is always prepared for any kind of physical danger can be highly inaccurate. For example, an sx/sp 6 is going to find safety in being attractive and in having close relationships with others. Throw in a counterphobic streak, and you have a person who might throw caution to the winds and lose themselves in a toxic relationship
Yes, subtypes and countertypes add filters of complexity to all the types. Here I pretty much stay with the basics (and not just enneagram basics for that matter). I get into deeper layers when I teach and work privately with people. But you are absolutely correct about the subtypes making a type look entirely different. The counterphobic piece also adds a fascinating nuance to the 6. That’s true of any countertype though. Thanks for commenting.
This is great information. Just learned I'm a 6. I've dealt with NPDs my entire life. This information would have been so helpful. Fascinating about going to either 3 or 9 to cope... My last relationship was with someone who I think was a covert somatic NPD. And very likely a 7. I think even a non-NPD 7 isn't going to be a match for me in a close relationship. But an NPD, secretive, lying 7... wow. Ultimate torturing pain.
Glad the information was helpful. Hindsight is always 20/20, so be easy on yourself. Keep your eye on the path ahead and use what you know now. Thanks for commenting. 🙏🏼
@@mariamandarino-wisdom-teacher Thank you so much for reading and replying. Yes, I definitely know so much more. I will post the following in case you could direct me in the right direction for information about this. I wonder if my theory is correct: After learning a bit more, I actually think my ex partner is a type 3 rather than a 7. If being "impressive and attractive" was in the form of being "cool" and/or "in need of rescue/sympathy" (for attention) and "always ready to be included with anyone" rather than a stereotypical over-achiever in career, hobbies and materialistically. To "being impressive and attractive" I would also include "being impressed by and attracted to" as a key part of my ex. What if a 3 was a porn addict and sat at the bar silently, but made eyes at people until someone approached and wanted to hook up with them? That would be the essence of my ex. (My ex would never admit to being addicted to porn, but I always suspected something like that was going on). This person seemed to be a maladaptive daydreamer and seemed to pleasurably absorb people. It was so creepy and odd, and I have no proof of any of it.
@@coach_amy great question. The thing about the enneagram though is we don't type other people. And here's main reason why: we can never get into the person's psyche and know the motivations beneath their actions. The enneagram is an inside job, as Helen Palmer says -- our own personal inside job. It's not about theories or about being correct or figuring out what makes another person tick. The enneagram is a sacred method for exploring our individual personal growth. Hope that helps.
Thz for sharing flowers/plants that r good for each et#.
You’re welcome!
I just recently realized I'm a type 4,,,,all these years. I thought I was a 9 Is that common for a 4 to think they're a nine?
It definitely can be! Nines love to merge. And 4s love connection. The distinction is 9s do this with the goal of creating harmony (if they understand you, they can meet your needs and avoid conflict). Fours do it because they really love going deep… it helps them feel seen, as if they have a place with someone who gets their depth and unique way of looking at life. One of the considerations is are you seeking harmony (9) or are you seeking depth and connection (4)? Lots of other factors, but that’s a good place to start. You might check out my type 4 and type 9 episodes for added insights. Thanks for commenting!
I thought I was a nine too. Than misidentified as a two and only like two years ago found my place.
I must be a 5w4 as a graphic designer. I identify with this, but I'm able to connect more with my emotions and honestly don't have a problem with multitasking. I definitely need to decompress. If I have a weekend where I need to have people over, I feel like I didn't get a weekend. I need at least one day a week where I can be alone, or just with my SO.
Thanks for commenting! Definitely sounds like 5w4!
Thanks Maria, I am a 5w6. You are on point.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the episode!
I am a 5 and had a narc at work who did everything they could to turn people against me which included lying and sabotage. It was easy because I am hard to get to know. BUT, I watch EVERYTHING and I keep RECEIPTS. Needless to say, I had the proof of what they were doing and they are gone. I felt something about them was off from day 1.
Well done. Type 5s will always keep the records!
@@mariamandarino-wisdom-teacher Yes. Once I got the vibe that this individual was not trustworthy, I kept everything. Every email I wrote was done with the intention that it might be seen by Human Resources. So, I would ask for confirmation of their understanding and their lack of response was duly noted. Ha ha. I wing to a 6 so I do find some humor in this too. Although it was stressful at times, I could also laugh about the ridiculousness of the situation.
