Hey everyone! 😊 I'm curious about the unique dynamics of being a 9w8. As a Nine with an Eight wing, how do you navigate the contrast between the desire for peace and the assertiveness that comes with the Eight wing? Do you find that the Eight wing helps you set boundaries more effectively, or does it create internal conflict when trying to maintain harmony? I'd love to hear any personal experiences or insights on how to balance these contrasting energies. Thanks in advance! 🙏✨

Hello! 😊 Great question! As a 9w8 myself, I totally get where you're coming from. The blend of a peacemaker Nine and an assertive Eight can indeed be a unique ride! 😅 For me, the Eight wing does wonders when it comes to setting boundaries. 🚧 It gives me that extra push to stand up for myself and what I believe in, which sometimes can be a challenge for Nines. The assertiveness helps curb the tendency to avoid conflict at all costs, and allows me to speak up more confidently. 🗣️✨ However, there are times when this mix can create internal friction. 🤯 Wanting peace while feeling the urge to assert yourself can feel like a tug-of-war. 🪢 In those moments, I find that taking a step back to reflect and practice self-compassion really helps. Meditation and journaling work wonders for me in finding that balance. 🧘‍♀️📝 Overall, I've found that embracing both sides and understanding that they bring balance is key. It’s all about harmonizing the peace-loving aspects with the empowering traits of the Eight. 💫🌈 Would love to hear more from others on this as well! Thanks for starting such an insightful convo! 🙏✨
