Being 'stuck' is an indication that something (in the head, heart or gut) awaits processing. Where and how do you process your thoughts, feelings and somatics?

In other words, what we are developing with this work is the ability to look closely and observe thematic underlying motivations.

A 'personality' represents a particular, individualized manifestation of an archetypal strategy. As such a study of the Enneagram involves building the muscle of pattern recognition.
The circumference of the Enneagram (where all the types are located) speaks to both the 'every-thing' and the 'no-thing' that makes up a circle. It is where the number 0 occurs in the Enneagram, a system of personality aimed at bringing awareness to the illusory self.
For Type 3 life transitions can bring forth the prospect of expansion and charting new territories. At the same time they can bring up insecurities of falling short or missed opportunities.

For Type 2 life transitions are generally interpreted through a relational context. The in-between phase of change can confront 2s to face the self that rests underneath the armor of pride and care-taking.

For Type 1, life transitions can bring up resistance, and the desire to manage and control. As such, the surrender involved in change represents an opportunity for tremendous growth.

The Set for Type 9 illustrates how the 9 occupies the center of the Gut Triad. 9s find that as they awaken to themselves and to the world, they are rooted firmly in the wisdom of the body (as is found in the somatic intelligence of their Primary Type as well as in both of wings).
This gut based intelligence allows 9βs to sense and attune to the conscious and unconscious energies in individuals, organizations and environments. While the Gut does represent their primary intelligence center, their position along the βinner triangleβ of the Enneagram symbol
8βs find that underneath their toughness is a generosity, which calls them into their heart (found in their Open Point at 2).

The Set for Type 8 illustrates the variety of patterns accessible to 8s. They lead with a strong and straight-forward somatic intelligence which naturally guides them through situations.
Their instinctual intensity can be balanced with the more diffuse somatic intelligence available at their 9 wing. The 8 Set is also drawn towards mental intelligence, leaning on that aspect of themselves both in their Support Point (in the line to 5) and in the wing (at 7).
While this pattern set is less directly connected to the Heart Types (2, 3, 4), the intelligences of those types are still within reach as the nine archetypal patterns of the Enneagram are always interconnected.

The Set for Type 7 brings a lot of mental intelligence, which lends to a particular type of brilliance. 7s are often the polymaths of the world, always learning, discovering and delighting themselves and others.
The 7 Set also includes somatic intelligence (at the 8 wing, and in the Support Point at 1), which typically results in an assertive, direct approach to life.
