SO/SP are performance-driven individuals who consciously shape a public archetype. They relate to themselves through self-mythologizing. They work hard to create a certain image or style, either through their looks, their ideas, or by showing power. They don’t just want to be important—they want everyone to know they’re important. They want to narrate their importance to the world, and likewise, their confidence depends on how people talk about them. They often have strong personalities, get into fights, and can really divide opinion. They don’t like to show their weaknesses. Instead, they try to build up a big, bold version of themselves. When things go bad, they might try to trick others or think they’re more important than they really are.

Examples:  Donald Trump, Nancy Grace, Al Capone, Adolph Hitler, Cornel West, Benito Mussolini, Earl Strickland, Camille Paglia, L. Ron Hubbard

SO/SX are emotionally high-volume individuals who encapsulate the friction between consciously shaping a public archetype and authenticity. This often pulls them in opposing directions. Whereas the SO/SP manages to compartmentalize their private identity from the public persona, it is not such a clean sweep under the carpet here for so/sx individuals. They are often torn between being real and putting on a certain image for others. This stacking carries deeper anti-establishment energy than SO/SP, sabotaging and subverting institutions, sometimes for the heck of it. They tend to have more charisma and personal gravity, emotional presence, an “it” factor than SO/SP, drawing people in rather than driving people back, surviving reality rather than imposing their vision over it – the genius of SO/SX occurs more reactively and is not the result of seizing control. The unhealthy extreme invites burnout and implosion.

Examples:  Brigitte Nielson, Biggie Smallz, Big Meech, Courtney Love, Bobby Fischer, Richard Ramirez, Sharon Stone, Megan Fox, Volodymr Zelensky, Richard Pryor

SP/SO individuals want to influence or run infrastructures. Their power is recognizable and legitimized by the system they operate in. These people want to build, shape, or control the big systems around us—like government, business, science, or entertainment. They are the kind of people who like to run things behind the scenes or be the boss. They are good at understanding how things work and how to manage them. They are often calm, steady, and dependable—not flashy or mysterious. Their power comes from working inside the system, not from breaking rules or causing chaos. They are careful with how they present themselves and know how to adapt to different situations. But when things go bad, they can get stuck. They might become boring, too focused on their public image, or lose touch with what’s really going on. They might ignore problems just to keep up appearances.

Examples:  Dwight Eisenhower, Nicole Kidman, Barrack Obama, Robert Moses, Patrick Bet-David, John F. Kennedy, John McCain, Dr. Phil, Bill O’Reilly

SP/SX individuals embody the essence of reinvention. They aestheticize their own ruin and turn personal extremes into public spectacle, leaning into and owning their collapse while still controlling their narrative. They are really good at starting over. They take their personal problems or hard times and make something interesting out of them for others to see. Even when things fall apart, they find a way to make it part of their story and stay in charge of how others see them. Starting over doesn’t mean they become someone new — it means they show who they are in a fresh way. People with this stacking often walk a fine line between being accepted by the mainstream and standing out as rebels. Think of a smart person who disagrees with popular ideas, or someone who becomes famous by being bold and different, or a great artist who is both loved and hated. Sometimes, they end up being a symbol or idea that’s bigger than anything they’ve done.

Examples:  Steven Seagal, Gene Simmons, Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Leona Helmsley

SX/SO individuals are disruptors of conventional frameworks. They break the usual expectations and openly violate social taboos, especially when it comes to sex, violence, or religion. They want to show the world who they really are deep inside, even if it makes others uncomfortable. They care a lot about being remembered — whether that means changing a field forever or shocking people so much they can’t be ignored. They have strong personal energy that pulls people in, and they need life to be full of strong feelings, excitement, and drama. That’s what keeps them going. They’re built for intensity and want everything they do to be powerful, wild, or deep. Sometimes they chase intense experiences in weird or risky ways — like strange rituals, emotional experiments, or testing how far people will go to prove their loyalty. They also search for big moments of insight or truth, like seeing a vision or having a life-changing idea. But when they go too far, they don’t know how to stop, and they can end up all alone, isolated.

Examples:  Pablo Escobar, Anton Lavey, Fritz Perls, Saddam Hussein, Lyndon Johnson, Mickey Rourke, Andrew Tate, Pamela Anderson, Riley Reid, Jenna Jameson

SX/SP individuals combine raw sensitivity with a refusal to submit and live almost exclusively by their internal codes. Vulnerable, intense, nonconformist and very sensitive, individuals with this stacking don’t follow rules or fit in easily. They live by their own way of thinking, even if no one else understands them. They often struggle with pain from the past, and they build their identity around feeling different or hurt. They are creative but can also be self-destructive. They don’t like strict environments and don’t blend in with normal society. They act on gut feelings, not on what others expect. Sometimes they seem wild, unpredictable, or like they want to shake things up. If things get really bad, they might even ruin their own lives because they can’t or won’t tone themselves down.
