In week two of their three part enneagram series, Jenny and Phil cover numbers in The Aggressive Stance. Comprised of 8s (gut triad), 7s (head triad), and 3s (heart triad) this stance is future oriented. 

If 4s, 5s, and 9s are the philosophers of the Enneagram, 8s, 7s, and 3s are the architects. These numbers are self motivating and self propelled. They dream and vision cast and invite others to do the same. Phil and Jenny cover the gifts and challenges associated with this stance, including how gender plays out in the ways aggressively stanced men and women are treated very differently in the world. 

We’d love to hear from you! If you’re an aggressive stance number, how does that play into how you move through the world?

• What does it feel like to try to bring up feelings?
• If you spent time observing yourself last week, what came up for you?
• Why is it important to learn to sink into the present moment as those who are typically future oriented?
• How might you try to engage with your repressed center? 

Having trouble identifying your number? Sit down with a trusted friend or family member and ask them to name a few of your best qualities. Then ask them to name a few of the areas they see you struggling in. What do these observations bring up for you? 

Jenny and Phil mention the following (or meant to mention the following, anyways): 
-Conscious Enneagram - Abi Robins

-The Enneagram for Black Liberation

-For Funsies: Rude Ass Enneagram

-Sleeping at Last: Enneagram Album
