OK, so you wanna know about this Enneagram and Astrology thing, right? Let me tell ya, it’s like tryin’ to figure out why the rooster crows at the crack of dawn. Some things just are, you know? But folks, they always gotta make things complicated.
Now, they talk about these Enneagram types. Sounds fancy, huh? But it’s just a way of sayin’ there’s different kinds of people. You got your bossy ones, your helpers, your thinkers… Just like in the hen house! Some hens peck the others, some lay the eggs, some just strut around lookin’ pretty.
Then there’s this Astrology thing. All about stars and planets and what-not. They say when you were born, the stars lined up a certain way and that tells ya somethin’ about who you are. Honestly, sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me. But hey, folks like to believe in somethin’.
- Like, they say if you’re born under a fiery star, you’re gonna be a hothead. Well, my cousin Jeb was born in the middle of a heatwave and he’s as calm as a cow chewin’ its cud. So go figure.
- And they talk about the moon and sun and how they affect ya. Sure, the moon makes the tides go in and out, and the sun makes things grow. But does it really change the way you think or act? I doubt it.
Now, some folks are tryin’ to put these two things together, the Enneagram and Astrology. They say your Enneagram type has somethin’ to do with your star sign. Like if you’re a Type 6, the anxious one, you might be born under a certain star.
But I say, look at your own life! Are you always worried? Then you’re probably a Type 6, no matter what star you were born under. Do you like helpin’ others? Then maybe you’re a Type 2, a “Giver” they call it. Just like my neighbor Betty, always bakin’ pies for everyone, no matter what the stars say.
They talk about conflict too, between these Enneagram types. Some numbers just don’t get along, like a cat and a dog. They say if your numbers add up to 9, you’re gonna have trouble. Like a 1 and an 8, or a 2 and a 7. Could be, I guess. But I’ve seen folks who should hate each other get along just fine, and folks who should be friends fight like cats and dogs.
So, what does it all mean? I ain’t got a clue, to be honest. It’s like tryin’ to understand why the weatherman is always wrong. Maybe the stars do have somethin’ to do with it, maybe they don’t. Maybe those Enneagram types are real, maybe they’re just made up.
But I do know this: people are people, no matter what their star sign or Enneagram type. We’re all different, and we all gotta find a way to get along. So maybe instead of worryin’ about stars and numbers, we should just try to be a little kinder to each other. That’s what I think, anyway.
