All nomos types are organized around duty and the impetus that humans should care for one another in a conscientious way. Nomos types are forward-thinking and responsible lovers who see our commitment to each other not just as "duties" or "obligations," but as opportunities to deepen our own moral stature and cultivate a sense of belonging as well. Nomos types understand that humanity is a social and cooperative species and that very few things of importance can be accomplished by one person setting out for themselves.
Consequently, they care deeply about the life and values of communities, their friends and social circles, and they often see opportunities for how everyone can be made to work together within them. Nomos types are dependable and trustworthy lovers who believe that (in love as well as in life) just rewards come to those who care not just about themselves, but for their community as a whole.
When other people are going through times of trouble, the good nomos lover takes no joy in their misfortune, but understands the gravity of their plight and provides a deeply rooted sense of reassurance, providing a level-headed practical wisdom in a non-judgmental manner. In this respect, good nomos lovers are the quiet enablers of our world; gently empowering others to learn and grow.
Good nomos lovers are not exacting, but realize that they will very likely never receive the same amount of selfless attention from others as they themselves give. They live by the creed that though the needs of friends and loved ones are insatiable, those of us who have the capacity must nevertheless do our best to tend to them and to serve as dutiful guardians, diplomats, and dependable down-to-earth presences to others.
Famous Greeks who have Nomos: Pericles, Xenophon.

M E G — Bad Eros:
All eros types are organized around ascent, seeking to supplant their status as "human, all too human." Eros types are ideational and cerebral lovers who experience a continual drive towards making the most of their capabilities in order to realize the highest stage of accomplishment that it is possible for them to attain in life.
By continually searching out self-improvement, and by being intensely self-critical about anything too mundane in their personalities, most eros types strive to achieve an otherworldly, icon-like facade whereby they will indeed be seen as something "more than human"; indeed as giving off the impression of having ascended "beyond the human condition" and onto something quasi-divine, like the Socratic seeker on the one hand, or the Nietzschean Overman on the other.
As for bad eros, when beset by preoccupations with competency and worth, there is always the temptation to replace the true ascent towards fairness and justice with more immediate manifestations of superiority, such as bossy, authoritative, and entitled behavior, even in cases where there may not be much in the way of genuine underlying qualities to warrant such posturing.
By tending to your own need for superiority before tending to concerns over what is actually fair and good. Hence, instead of embarking on the long and tortuous quest to hone your abilities for the long run, you default to manifesting a superior persona here and now, and you tend to do so regardless of whether this haughtiness is justified or not.
Your journey towards good eros most likely involves a relinquishment of your preoccupation with self-worth as well as the realization that the value of individuals is not so much intrinsic as it is determined by their actual contributions over time.
Abstracting from your usual trepidations, one pattern that is likely to register with you is that your haughtiness tends to have an especially easy time coming to the fore whenever your self-image is threatened. In other words, that this conceit is not simply a static trait of yours, but an adaptation formed to cope with feelings of low self-esteem and the nagging suspicion that you are—at root—inferior. Distressing sentiments that you have responded to by developing an outer persona that values power because, deep down, you feel powerless yourself.
Famous Greeks who have Eros: Socrates, Heraclitus.

You no longer remember when you began to lose yourself; you only know that you are that person no longer. Life has beaten them out of you, and the worst part is you hadn't even realized it until now.
You've given all of yourself to someone, something, else, and this is why you break down. Are you a person anymore, or are you just a shell? You used to be fiery, stubborn, a fighter, and now you are simply exhausted.
You are finally ready to bring that person back, only you don't know how. Is it even possible? Please say it's possible.
M E G — 'Epiphany', Sweeney Todd:
You've been holding this back for a long, long time. You've been patient, you've done all that you were supposed to, and even still you end up losing.
In the moment where you were supposed to be most successful, you fail catastrophically, and... and you're done. You've had it with the world -- to hell with them. Every person you meet is all but seething with corruption that's begging to be exposed, or rather, to be eliminated. Why bother pretending otherwise?
Behind it all is a deep-seated grief that you cannot ignore. You mourn your past self and your loved ones alike; they have been slaughtered in favor of your vengeance. How far is too far? You wouldn't know.
You’re quiet about your feelings, but they run deeper than you let on. you crave connection, yet the weight of expectation or fear often holds you back. love, to you, is both sanctuary and torment. it's something you want to protect but can’t always claim openly. people might see you as reserved, even stoic, but beneath that exterior is a tenderness you rarely show, one that aches to be understood without words. you know how it feels to love in silence, to carry someone inside you long after they’re gone. you embody the bittersweet truth that sometimes love doesn’t need to be spoken loudly to be real. it lingers like smoke on the horizon, persistent, impossible to forget.
M E G :
Anna Karenina & Count Vronsky, Anna Karenina
You’re restless at heart, someone who craves more than the mundane and often feels trapped by routine. love, for you, is a kind of escape. for you, it's an intoxicating rush that pulls you out of boredom and makes life feel urgent again. you’re drawn to beauty, elegance, and the thrill of doing something you’re not supposed to. people may call you fickle, but really you’re searching for something bigger than yourself, a spark that makes life feel worth living. you have a tendency to chase intensity and then struggle with what comes after, when reality sinks back in. still, you’re not built for smallness, you burn too brightly for that.

Being loved by you is like tasting those delicious, sweet, effervescent candies that start fizzing and dancing on your tongue at the first bite. yours is a playful, unpredictable love. you didn't wait to say "i love you" the first time, you knew that there was not going to be a better moment than that one, you just had to say it. you're bold, and so is your way of loving.
Your love language is probably gift giving, oh you love that rush of excitement when surprising your partner. you love making them laugh, you hate when you're not holding hands on a walk, and probably you're also a little clingy. your partner is your best friend, the person you have the most fun with. you share your joys and sorrows with them. you reach out for comfort and help when you need it, and you get hurt when they don’t do the same.
the people you love should know that even if you fizz, pop and bubble, you need reassurance. you carry with you an entire universe and loving every aspect of it might be intimidating, that’s why you get easily scared they could get tired of you.
M E G — Cigarettes and Coffee :
A love like yours is raw, bitter, deeply human. it’s the kind of love that lingers in your skin, in your clothes, in the spaces between words. yes, you’re un unforgettable lover. you stain. it’s a love that keeps you awake at night. maybe you didn’t even want to fall in love at first, am i right? you just wanted to have fun and now you’re stuck, you really can’t get them out of your head and you fought it for a while or maybe you’re still fighting it.
yours is a love that’s flawed, human, and deeply felt. it’s not made for fairy tales, but for indie song artists and lovers who do not care about the happily-ever-after, only about the present.
being loved by you leaves a bitter aftertaste, you know? it carries a certain ache. it’s full of long pauses, stained fingertips, and glances that say more than words. but are you sure your partner knows how to interpret them? it can be pretty confusing. it’s so hard to guess what you’re thinking or what you’re feeling that you might leave your partner often wondering: “do they really want to be with me?”
some days you’re considerate, sweet, it’s so fun to be with you. then you distance yourself and you get all caught up in your own thoughts and problems you hardly share the burden of. the hardest part is loving you back.
child, why do you make it so difficult? why do you push people away? is there something that makes you feel like you’re not worthy of being loved? is it your anger? your love tastes like coffee and cigarettes for breakfast. that might not be enough to satiate your lover’s hunger.
The bounty of your heart is abundant. warmth extends from your fingertips, and your smile has the power to light the darkest of rooms. your presence is a comfort—a gift—it is something to be cherished. just beware of stretching yourself too thin; a heart cannot be full if it is constantly emptying itself for the benefit of others. extend that mercy to your own heart, so you may continue to love and let yourself be loved. your chest is not an empty cavity.
REVERSED: self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values.
M E G — DEATH :
You need rest. more than anything, you must allow yourself rest. death is frightening—it is inevitable, it is unstoppable—but, it can also be a thing of great beauty. it is an agent of change. it is the forest fire that paves way for new life. allow yourself this rest, and be prepared for the change to come. brace yourself. it will be hard, it will not be kind, but you are more than ready. you just need to rest first.
