All these negative states of manifestation seem to be ways of coping that are undertaken when the person feels that the full scope of reality can't be dealt with through acceptance.
You've got it!
The Aquarius thing is confusing because of bad editing on my part. I apologize, that should not have been included here.
Enneagram theory does not require any point of view about astrology.
I had some research notes about Aquarius symbolism, ET/ancient astronaut type ideas, and esoteric thought. I combined some ideas into some excessively fanciful and complex metaphorical pictures. Those notes got crammed in here where they don't particularly fit. It was a last minute addition.
I'm going to edit that post to take out that part. It was not only put in where it doesn't belong, it also needs to be rewritten, expanded and greatly revised for clarity. Sorry about that confusing section.
Ahhh Astrology! I don't understand because I simply haven't delved the slightest bit into astrology yet. I will when/if it's time. Thank you! And please don't apologize. It's all good! Why not, as you say, rewrite or expand upon the ideas you've put up, instead of cutting out information that may be potentially useful or interesting to someone? If you feel you can best approach that area of the Enneagram with Astrological terms, then why not? Perhaps though you can add an approach that uses regular terms as well? (And by "regular" terms, I mean most commonly used terms.)
Thanks again, my brother!
