Introduction

The Enneagram of Personality (the Enneagram) is a pseudoscientific model used to identify personality types. Enneagram Tarot is our visual tool for changemakers to recognise your style, strengths and areas for development, and those around you.

I’ve drawn on my love of collage and professional experience of community-building, making social change and creating inclusive and equitable conditions to create this visual ‘Tarot Deck’ of nine cards. It’s for your personal growth and to help you better understand why and how you and others influence social change.

We all make decisions based on a mix of logic and emotion. Some of us listen to our head more than our heart, others trust their gut. To spot this at a glance, the cards are colour-coded with a yellow (gut), blue (head) or green (heart) strip to demonstrate how each type makes its snap decisions when under pressure.

Enneagram type 4s tend to operate from the heart. Your mode is feeling. Your heart goes out to people. You might refer to yourself as an empath or say that you wear your heart on your sleeve. You’re attuned to emotions and make your decisions based on your personal values and how you feel.

Type 4 – The Individualist

  • Core Desire: To be unique and authentic
  • Core Fear: Having no identity or personal significance
  • Basic Motivation: Creating identity through self-expression
  • Key Traits: Introspective, expressive, moody
  • How you can grow: Practice emotional regulation, embrace shared humanity
  • Common Pitfalls: Dwelling in melancholy, feeling misunderstood

Your intuitive depth and creative flair make you a champion for underheard stories. You amplify LGBTQIA+ narratives, immigrant experiences, and Indigenous voices through art, writing, or community rituals. Your empathy helps communities process grief, resilience, and cultural memory.

Your Changemaking Style

  • You curate galleries, poetry readings, or film series that centre marginalised artists.
  • You consult on public projects to ensure cultural authentiity and respectful representation.
  • You mentor young creatives from oppressed backgrounds, guiding them to share their truths.
  • You lead healing circles that blend tradition with new rituals, fostering intergenerational solidarity.

Balanced vs. Under Pressure

  • When in balance, you channel emotion into transformative expression, inviting others into collective healing.
  • Under pressure, you may withdraw or dwell on what’s missing, silencing yourself at a time when your voice matters.

How to Support Yourself

  • Pair reflection with action, turning insights into collaborative art or advocacy events.
  • Join inclusive creative collectives that celebrate a spectrum of identities and aesthetics.
  • Practice grounding rituals, such as mindful walks in nature or community potlucks to counter isolation.
  • Share work in progress for feedback from diverse peers. Vulnerability fuels authenticity.

How to better support Others

  • Notice when sorrow becomes self-absorption. Redirect emotion toward community care.
  • Track triggers around representation. Use them to spark inclusive design, not withdrawal.
  • Embrace collaboration; co-creating multiplies impact and builds solidarity.
  • Lean into joy. Celebrating collective culture is as radical as mourning.

Your passion for beauty, when rooted in inclusive practice, becomes an engine for cultural justice and shared belonging.

Just for Fun

Spirit animal: Dove

Fun fact: The white dove is one of the symbols that are associated with Greek goddess Aphrodite. The dove is often associated with love, peace, and spirituality. In art, Aphrodite is frequently depicted with doves, showcasing the deep connection between these creatures and the divine realm of love and desire.
