Hi INFJs
Here’s 10 more reasons to feel misunderstood.
There’s 10 different versions of you as of now.
They are listed in following:
- The Plutonian INFJ
- The Neptunian INFJ
- The Uranian INFJ: INTJ (ish)
- The Saturnian INFJ
- The Jupiterian INFJ
- The Martian INFJ
- The Venusian INFJ
- The Mercurian INFJ
- The Lunar INFJ
- The Solar INFJ
See a theme?
In order to take the next step on your INFJ journey which has given you so much homecoming and understanding, imagine what it would be like to know to a T who you really are in a very concise label. INFJ is the first stage, but it’s too general, too blanket to really be effective in the most 80/20 way possible.
This is where astrology comes into the mix. Knowing you’re an INFJ can get you 80 percent of the way there, but if you want to be an A+ player in the world of men, you really have to know your special brand of INFJ, to reach the highest levels of your potential as an INFJ.
Luckily, there is an easy way to identify this that I have worked out over the years. I have found out what is most responsible for creating this leveraging effect, this further differentiating effect that makes you stand out even from other INFJs, and also to find your brethren, your true home.
Are you an Abraham Lincoln or a Van Gogh?
Are you an owl or a dolphin?
And do you like endorphins?
Tune in next week to read the first of this 10 article series about all the wonderful variations of INFJ possible. It will blow your mind!
Bye!
Interesting…I look forward to reading the articles.
Until recently I thought there was only the light vs dark dichotomy, but this delineates that further.
I guess it was no coincidence then that Daniel Day-Lewis was casted as Abraham Lincoln for the movie! (Assuming Daniel Day-Lewis is indeed an INFJ).
Seems like there are some massive contradistinctions within the type… owl vs dolphin couldn’t be more different! As couldn’t Lincoln vs Van Gough…
I wonder where Tolstoy fits into this…and Dostoyevsky. I don’t know if there could be any other that could label their own masterpiece (i.e., Anna Karenina) as “counterfeit art”
Hi! I’m an INFJ and I just wanted to say that I’m a really big fan of your work and that I’m definitely looking forward to your articles!
Hey, thanks for reporting in!
Dude where TF have you been my whole life! I just stumbled across you through a 2014 article. You tell the truth about who INFJ’s really are. Not the BS fairytale most people push.You spoke about how we are looking for a soul mate to come into our secret layers.. lmao.. and for whatever reason I love fire signs and a Sagittarius women OMG😍 how is that ever going to be a good idea 😂. I’m a Libra ☀️ Pisces 🌙 band Sagittarius rising so I guess you go with ☀️ which says Libra is ruled by Venus to find out what Im about to invest way too much time and thought into? This breakdown is new to me so that’s just intuition. Anyways I will definitely be subscribed to a few of your socials in the very very near future. I look forward to seeing if you can answer some of my most profoundly deep down the wrong hole questions! ✨🙂🙃🙂♎🕳️

so I guess you go with ☀️ which says Libra is ruled by Venus to find out what Im about to invest way too much time and thought into?
I wouldn’t go strictly by Sun sign, nor it’s ruling planet (in your case, Venus, because you are Sun sign Libra) to find out what type of partner you are compatible with.
You have to look to the whole chart to find out which planet is strongest, but the final arbiter should be just what makes sense. Because the principle I’m operating by here is that ONE of the planets will dominate the nature, so which one is it?
Combine that planet with INFJ and you have yourself a recipe for compatibility that is pretty irrefutable.
My operating theory is that whatever planet dominates your nature is that you must find another person that has that same dominance, and then you will be compatible on that basis.
To give slightly more info, I feel like all NF types are most compatible with each other in a general sense or class. So, for example, if you were an INFJ you would be most compatible in this general sense with INFP, ENFP, and ENFJ, and maybe another INFJ. Then, if you determined that you were an INFJ with a dominant Pluto, for example (a Plutonian INFJ), you would then want to find a partner that was an ENFP, INFP, ENFJ, or INFJ (one of the 4 NF types) that had this same planetary dominance (in this case, Plutonian dominance).
If you follow this recipe for compatibility, you should be highly compatible with a partner that you select in this fashion. And by compatible, I mean, you have the capability to develop a long-term relationship, which is relatively easy and frictionless when compared to random selection from the general population.
I understand the gravitation towards dominant planets to make things simple but I feel this principle can be improved upon by allowing a little room for complexity.
Dominant planets can be determined by essential dignity (the heavyweight being whether being dignified or exalted by sign) and accidental dignity (the heavyweight here being close to the angles). Being in a hard aspect, especially with tight orb, to a luminary also makes a planet particularly dominant. Being a dispositor of a luminary, especially the one that rules the sect (Day/Night) may also help, but is less of a heavy weight.
But most importantly, one must look at the entire chart and see particular themes that crop up and whatever seems to be the most important planetary players in such configurations/particularities/etc are the dominant ones.
Given the various criteria by which a planet can be considered dominant, one could see that a dominant planet may actually be in fall/debilitated (e.g. still dominant via being an apex of a T-square or closely conjunct an angle). And in that case, this dominant planet will not manifest in the prototypical archetype of the planet, but rather give the native a lot of hardship dealing with the most negative manifestations of that particular planet. A debilitated dominant Saturn (negative, bleak, death-obsessed, filled with hardship but little reward/Te-mastery) =/= A dignified dominant Saturn, for example.
And then with regards to relationships, I don’t think having the same dominant planets necessarily gives rise to compatibility. A classical Plutonian may not get along at all with another classical Plutonian unless both can interact in a way that allows each other to help achieve their individual Plutonian aims and/or one allows the other to be dominant (usually the dominant is just the other side of the same coin of the submissive, and is only bringing that dominant/creative part out from the submissive’s soul – aka there is alignment between the two Plutonians). But if both must be Dominant in relationships (which can definitely happen between Plutonians – especially if they are not aligned in a particular way), these two people are done.
I would argue that opposites help, but only if a) each person has reached a maturity stage in which they have first of all recognised that the opposite tendency even exists at all and that secondly, there is a merit in it that one can appreciate, and b) if the relational chemistry allows for such opposite tendencies not to grate on one another. Similar and opposite seems to be key in relational compatibility in my opinion. But if one is extremely Lunarian and the other Saturnian, and neither can accept or integrate the other, then certainly they cannot live together. But I can see how they can, and very effectively so, if other elements can nudge the opposition to manifest in a productive fashion rather than as a cold stand-off.
