The Sage
The Seeker of Wisdom
Core Desire: To understand the world through knowledge, truth, and deep wisdom. The Sage is driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and truth. Lifelong learners, they seek meaning in all aspects of life, using their intellect to guide others with clarity. Their constant pursuit of wisdom, however, can lead to overanalysis, indecision, or hesitation in taking action.
The Lover
The Heart-Centered Romantic
Core Desire: To build deep, meaningful connections, and create harmony through relationships.

The Ruler
The Confident Leader
Core Desire: To create order, establish stability, and lead with authority and influence.
The Ruler thrives in leadership roles, using their authority and wisdom to build lasting impact. Their drive for control can lead them to become overbearing, inflexible, or fearful of losing power.

Explorers are driven by curiosity and independence, seeking new perspectives through adventure and growth. Their longing for newness can sometimes make them resistant to commitment or feeling unsettled.

The Playful Entertainer
Core Desire: To bring joy, laughter, and spontaneity into life, Jesters uplift others with humor, helping them let go of stress and embrace the present. They bring lightness, fun, and freedom to tough situations but may struggle with avoiding deep emotions, using humor as a shield from vulnerability.
The Magician
The Manifestor of Reality
