✨Because everyone forgets something once in a while

✨THE LUMINARIES* (THE SUN AND MOON) AND THE PLANETS

*a lot of astrologers refer to the sun and the moon as planets, (yes they know that they’re not actually planets) but it’s a personal preference of mine to call them luminaries

THE SUN:

Description:

The sun is the base of everything that you are. It is the part of you that you wake up with and the part of you that you retreat to when you are too tired to truly embrace and understand the other parts of you. The sun is your foundation and it is something that is built upon but is not something that you’re unable to retreat to. The sun is the simplest and the truest form of you, strip away everything else that you are and you will always be what the sun is in your natal chart at heart.

Associated with: The ego, general vitality

Rules: Leo

THE MOON:

Description:

The moon is your heart and the moon is how you feel, it’s the sadness that creeps up on all of us late at night, it is what we emotionally attach to other people and to ourselves, it is everything that we feel truly and deeply. The moon is the most private part of ourselves. In the natal chart, it’s where everything that we deem vulnerable and soft about ourselves goes.

Associated with: Emotions, the childhood, the mother/family, comfort, protection

Rules: Cancer

MERCURY:

Description:

Mercury is our thoughts and how they move, it is the clicking of typing on a keyboard, voices melting together in busy environments, and words made poignant by fresh ink on paper. Mercury is how we communicate and what we have made of our own words, it is the perception of ourselves that we choose to communicate to the world. Mercury is also the knowledge that we grasp onto, the way that we think and what we primarily use our mind for.

Associated with: The mind, thoughts, communication, how we learn

Rules: Gemini and Virgo

VENUS:

Description:

Venus is both beauty itself and everything that is considered beautiful. It is everything aesthetically pleasing, it is everything pleasant, and above all, Venus has everything to do with love. Venus is not only what makes us pleasing to the eye or what/who we find beautiful, it is also is how we love, what we do with our love, and how we are when it comes to romantic relationships. It is what we seek in a partner and what we actually need in a relationship.

Associated with: Love, beauty, aesthetics

Rules: Taurus and Libra

MARS:

Description:

Mars is a flame that cannot be extinguished, it is our passion, it is our drive, it is what makes us want to strive to become who we can be and not just who we are. And just like a flame everything that mars is associated with is almost like burning. Anger, aggression, confrontation, and passion. Mars is the more primal part of your natal chart, relying more on instinct and what you feel like you’re meant to do.

Associated with: Anger, aggression, passion, motivation, physical intimacy

Rules: Aries

JUPITER:

Jupiter is the planet of unyielding expansion, whether that’s externally or internally. It is what we have made of the world, our philosophies, and how we will expand on that throughout our lives. Jupiter is the planet of abundance and of prosperity, whether it’s good for you or not. It is the planet that will allow you to grow into the person that you want to become, someone who fits your own thoughts on life and your personal philosophies.

Associated with: Expansion, growth, philosophy, an abundance, prosperity, luck

Rules: Sagittarius

SATURN:

Saturn is the planet of discipline and of learning essential life lessons, and not always in the most desired way. Saturn is the stern teacher, the methods used to teach you may be harsh, but through hard work and dedication you will be able to achieve what you were always to meant to achieve, along with growing as a person. Many astrologers view Saturn has a more malefic planet, however, I believe that this is due to the process that Saturn puts us through rather than the end result.

Associated with: Life lessons, restrictions, the father

Rules: Capricorn

URANUS:

Uranus is the planet that pushes out the old in brings in the new, it has everything to do with societal changes and the future. It is a revolutionary and a unique planet, one that is able to encourage people to challenge traditions and to be completely unafraid to be who they are. Uranus is a generational planet, meaning that most of your generation, or at least most of your friends that are around your age, will have the same Uranus sign. Due to this we often see one mindset on change with each generation, bringing them together and unifying them in order to be able to make great change.

Associated with: Uniqueness, change, revolutions, the future

Rules: Aquarius

NEPTUNE: 

Neptune is the planet of mirages and deceit. It paints a much prettier picture on the outside, one of escapism and dreaminess and everything psychedelic, but on the inside, things are much less wonderful. Neptune is not meant to be a realistic planet, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Here you’ll find your hopes, dreams, and your most intricate of fantasies; even if they’re extremely difficult or impossible to actually attain. Neptune is the siren of astrology, leading you astray to find a much uglier truth.

Associated with: Dreams, mirages, escapism, fantasies

Rules: Pisces

PLUTO:

To wrap the luminaries and the planet up, Pluto is one of the most transformative planets. (Yes, I know that Pluto is a dwarf planet, but in astrology it is referred to as a planet.) And the transformation that you must endure with this planet will not be a nice one. Pluto is all about changing a person from the ground up, which means the eventual destruction of anything that would be considered unhealthy of your life. It is quite literally like being rebirthed from the ashes of your former self, and this is the way that Pluto operates.

Associated with: Transformation, destruction, rebirth

Rules: Scorpio

✨THE HOUSES:

THE FIRST HOUSE (ASCENDANT): Your “vibe”, your presence, someone’s first impressions of you, your physical features, who you are on the outside

THE SECOND HOUSE: Who/what you value, your possessions, your finances, your self worth, what makes you feel secure

PISCES (THE FISH):

I had a really cool idea which was basically to make moodboards with different aesthetics that had "INFP vibes." Disclaimer this is purely for fun and based on how I personally feel lol.

What makes INFPs different from each other? Well there are many factors. Obviously not all INFPs are the same, and other parts of typology like enneagram, ivs, and socionics do affect this. Some INFPs are also more in tune with their weaker functions (Si and Te) than others. Like the other types, INFPs also have different "archetypes" that are often seen as "general representations" of them. Obviously because mbti is so nuanced and complex, don't fret if you don't identify with any of these! They're very simplified, so not relating doesn’t mean you're not an INFP!

So now let's get into some of the most notable archetypes

1. The Dreamer

The most notable INFP archetype, one could call it "the INFP poster child." The dreamer is a pure, innocent, curious, sensitive, and idealistic INFP. The dreamer looks at the world with wide, starry-eyes, and wears their heart on their sleeve. Usually the dreamer is also very romantic poetic, and/or artistic, and they have a wild imagination. The dreamer sees the good in everyone and might often merge with/be present in tropes like the manic pixie dream girl, or the soft boy. They have a tendency to be portrayed as mysterious or misunderstood.

Examples of the dreamer: Belle (Beauty & the Beast), Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Amelie, Juliet (Romeo & Juliet), Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables), and Celine (Before Trilogy)

2. The Mediator

The mediator shares the same traits as the dreamer (pure, sensitive, kind-hearted, etc.) but plays a different role in the story. Typically the dreamers are protagonists, while mediators usually have secondary roles. The mediator often acts as a voice of reason, to keep the protagonist in touch with their humanity or to just listen whenever someone needs to let it all out. The mediator is typically very quirky and non-conformist. The mediator is empathetic and usually soften-spoken, but they're not afraid to stand up for others or what they believe in.

Examples of the mediator: Silvermist (Tinkerbell), Mantis (MCU), Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter), Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury (Sailor Moon), and Lucy Pevensie (Narnia)

3. The Seeker

The seeker, once again, shares the same traits as the other two but has an emphasis on curiosity and imagination. The seeker is not afraid to ponder life's deeper, more complex questions.

As said by @dragonflymage, the seeker often asks themselves questions like

Why do I exist?

Who am I really inside?

How do I fit?

Where do I belong?

They also go on to add this explanation: "A seeker, continuously looking for answers that we never may find, but that we must keep searching for anyway. "

(If you wanna read more from her post I've reblogged it on my page) While they search for these answers, the seeker oftentimes will go on a "hero's journey" in hopes of finding the answer along their quest

Examples of the seeker: Merlin (BBC), Newt Scamander (Fantastic Beasts/HP), Luke Skywalker (Star Wars), Edward Scissorhands, and Frodo (LOTR)

4. The Emotional Villain

As you can see this one is a complete 180 compared to the other three lol. This pattern doesn't exactly have a name, so I just made one up.

Pretty much all INFP villains I've seen are driven by their emotions. Afterall, Fi is our dominant function. The emotional villain is driven by personal reasons and experiences, they're not just evil for the sake of being evil. Typically the emotional villain is very moody, disturbed, and/or unstable. They are usually the direct opposite of their other INFP counterparts: they are selfish, ruthless, and blood-hungry.

Examples of the emotional villain: Wanda Maximoff (MCU), Joker (2019 ver), and Kylo Ren (Star Wars).

5. The Angsty Teen

Another really common portrayal of INFPs in media is the angsty teen. This archetype is pretty self explanatory, an angsty hormonal teenager. The angsty teen often struggles with social anxiety, and/other another mental illness. They also might have trust issues, be really moody, or hurting from unrequited love or some other trauma. The angsty teen often copes through artistic means, like poetry or painting.

I feel the feelings on this archetype are very divided. While a lot of people don't like having that image as a representation of their type, some argue that it's a realistic portrayal of the darker side of being an INFP. I personally feel like the angsty teen represents my inner conflicts, while the dreamer, mediator, and seeker represent my outward behavior most of the time. What are your thoughts?

Examples of the angsty teen: Shinji Ikari (Evangelion), Will Byers (Stranger Things), Cassie Ainsworth (Skins), Kou Mabuchi (Blue Spring Ride), Violet Parr (The Incredibles), Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson), Charlie Kelmeckis (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Elio Perlman (Call Me By Your Name), Todd Anderson (Dead Poets Society), Fischl (Genshin Impact), Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice) and Cry Baby (K-12)

There's plenty more archetypes but I thought I'd just focus on these 5. Also remember that these archetypes don't represent all INFPs as a whole, they’re just like "INFPs in a nutshell."

Hey Charity! I was thinking about how you said that you think that the most common enneagram types for INFPs are 4, 6, and 9 (I agree). Why do INFP sixes and INFP nines mistype so often as fours?

It’s because of a misunderstanding of the frustration nature of 4. Many attachment types think they are 4s and so they write about 4s from an attachment perspective, because they don’t identify with the withdrawn-frustration nature of 4-ness. They say stuff like “I repress my intense feelings to keep the peace” (9) or how great it is to be unique and special (6). The actual 4 doesn’t like other people to be 4s (that makes them part of something), doesn’t relate to repressing their feelings at all (that’s not being authentic to my intense moods), is not “positive” because they are frustration types, and is always longing for something just out of their reach. Basically, a lot of 4 profiles are written about 6s or 9s with 4 fixes. So of course, 9s and 6s identify with them and call themselves a 4. A lot of what’s attributed to 4 is actually the traits of 9s (seeking beauty in all things, for example – 4s actually like rawness and realness instead, and that includes “ugly” things – it’s 9s who often want beauty).

How do you think enneagram types 4, 6, and 9 alter the way an INFP appears to other people?

4 INFP - it’s all about me and my feelings (good, bad, intense, etc), prolonging emotional states, stubborn refusals to conform, frustration and over-individuating (must stand out, must be seen as different, I am broken and damaged and don’t try to fix me); 4w5 is invisible and super-withdrawn and their aesthetic is often morbid; 4w3 is more flashy and extroverted and colorful and “look at me!”

6 INFP - cautious, more of a struggle with their emotions (trying to think about them while feeling them), more analytical, can seem thinker-y sometimes, strong opinions, pushing people or being loyal, but can also be a ‘team player’ who doesn’t draw much attention to themselves; when young, especially, projection, distrust, and sometimes being too self-deprecating / assuming they are “too much” or can’t do things, hate change; 6w7 is more outgoing, funny, and willing to take risks and they want more support; 6w5 is more self-reliant, withdrawn, and less inclined to move toward people

INTJ: *mumbles* You're the prettiest star...

INFP: Hmm? What was that?

INTP : Okay, first go to settings–

INTP : Wait, I’m a dumbass, I thought you said emojis

INFP : No – I’m still willing to try this, go ahead.

MBTI CHEAT SHEET #3

note: in the bullet list i’ll be talking about the HIGH users of the mentioned function.

and i’ll talk bout heathy and unhealthy traits in the same bullet list randomly without order so don’t be offended if there’s a trait bout your dominant function that ain’t as nice, it’ll probably be just an unhealthy trait of the function.
