Enneagram Type 8

If you’ve ever been on the wrong side of an 8, you’ve known about it! 😱

8s are absolute power houses, they’ll defend & protect their people to the death. Straight talking, action-taking, natural born leaders. 💪

When we read about 8s it’s tempting to think of intimidating characters, but it’s important to know that the world REALLY needs its 8s ✨ Think Martin Luther King, Serena Williams & Ernest Hemingway.

The important thing to know about 8s is that beyond their hard exterior lies a vulnerable child who needed protection, understanding and unwavering loyalty ♥️ So if you want to get the best out of an 8, that’s what they need from you. After all, it’s a two-way street with 8s. You CAN have their best (which is pretty spectacular), if you earn it

Their best includes incredible softness and an immensely generous, loving spirit that’s quietly begging to be tamed. They are supportive beyond measure, ready to use the full force of their power to do whatever is required to take care of you ❤️‍🩹 They can be bloody hilarious too with irreverence and straight-talking as part of their toolkit.

When 8s are less healthy, they can become judgemental, snappy, stubborn and set in their ways, refusing to bend to logical rationale. We’ve all been in the room when an 8 turns sour, am I right?! 😬

But if 8s can do the work, and remember the power of humility (because none of us are ever done evolving and learning), they can become exceptionally crucial people in all of our lives: Moving mountains and uniting nations, families and communities under a deeply needed umbrella of justice, love and protection. ☂️ 💞
