The Enneagram is a circle divided by nine points equally spaced with the 3rd 6th and 9th parts being the endpoints of a triangle (Law of Three). The other points, 1st,2nd,4th,5th,7th,8th create a 6 pointed figure that intersect the triangle at 12 points on the triangle and have 6 points on the circle. A curious thing is the Menorah of Jewish lore, it too, has nine points and if one were to look down from above it and the brances were moved just so the points of the enneagram could be seen.
