What Are the Enneagram Oracles?
The four Enneagram Oracles (General, Love, Wealth, and Mystical) are unique and powerful tools designed to provide clear, insightful, and easy-to-interpret answers—whether you are a beginner, an experienced card reader, or a coach specializing in the Enneagram or personal development. Each deck contains 108 illustrated cards, each with seven powerful keywords, allowing you to deeply explore every aspect of your personality, from unconscious blocks to paths of growth and a nuanced understanding of life situations1.
The Enneagram itself is a self-knowledge system based on nine major personality types, each with its strengths, weaknesses, fears, and paths to growth. The Enneagram Oracles translate this ancient wisdom into four structured card decks for guidance:
- 108 cards per deck, each with an illustration and seven powerful keywords
- Four reference Oracles: General, Love, Wealth, and Mystical, covering all areas of life
- Simple, direct, and accessible messages, without the need to master complex symbolism like the Tarot
Using an Enneagram Oracle means benefiting from a tool that is both intuitive and profound, illuminating your psyche as well as your spiritual dimension. To learn more about The Enneagram Oracles, click here.
Preparing for Your Enneagram Oracle Reading
1. Cleanse and Ground Your Deck
Before any reading, cleanse your Oracle (with sage, incense, or intention) to ensure the energies are neutral and aligned with yours.
2. Create a Supportive Space
Settle in a calm place and set a clear intention: “What do I need to understand about my situation today?” or “What is my unconscious block?”
3. Center Yourself
Take a few deep breaths and connect to your feelings. The more open your mind, the clearer the message.
Reading Methods Adapted to the Enneagram Oracles
- Single Card Draw: Ideal for quick insight into a question or to get a yes, no or maybe answer a closed question.
- Three Card Spread: Explore an issue from three angles (for example: block, awareness, recommended action, or past, present, and future).
- Domain-Specific Spreads: Each Oracle (General, Love, Wealth, Mystical) offers spreads tailored to its area of application.

Key Steps to Interpreting Enneagram Oracle Cards
1. Observe the Illustration
Each card features an evocative illustration designed to stimulate your intuition. Ask yourself:
- What emotion or memory does this image evoke?
- Do you see a symbol that resonates with your situation?
2. Let the Seven Keywords Guide You
The strength of the Enneagram Oracles lies in their seven keywords per card. Read them carefully:
- One or more keywords will immediately resonate with your question or current state of mind.
- Note what stands out most to you—this is often the heart of the message.
3. Connect the Card to Your Type or Issue
The Enneagram encourages you to relate each message to your personality type or the issue at hand:
- Does this card refer to a defense mechanism, a repetitive pattern, a fear, or a resource?
- Does the message highlight an unconscious aspect to work on or a path for growth?
4. Integrate the Message into Your Context
Ask yourself:
- How does this message apply to my current situation?
- What does it invite me to become aware of or transform?
- What concrete action can I take?
5. Record and Track Your Progress
Keep a reading journal: note the card, the keywords that stood out, your feelings, and subsequent events. This will help you track your evolution and refine your understanding of the Oracle’s messages.
