It has been said that the world is a stage and we are but actors upon it.
Once you know your MBTI type, you have found your stage.
But if you want to be a STAR on that stage, you must know your starring role.
Your starring role is like a suit your MBTI type has to wear to have access to the external environment. This has bearings on your compatibility with life partners, the particular style you must have, how other people see you, and the role you are naturally cast in. You can either fight against it, or embrace it and learn how to leverage it.
Relationships and Compatibility
Your starring role determines your compatibility with romantic and life partners. You want to match with your partner here.
It also determines your compatibility with career and the place where you live.
Your natural style
I have said before you don’t get to choose your style.
Are you a writer or artist?
Trying to write or create in a style that isn’t natural to you? Going down paths that have you improving at the craft of writing, the technical side. Many INFJs want to be more technical. Won’t work.
If you’re a Bukowski, then you can’t be a lyric poet, and vice-versa.
If your life was a movie
Other people will cast you in this role whether you want to be or not
- Your role in this life
- How you are type-cast
- First impressions
- Attraction
So fine, you know you’re an INFJ, for example. You’re basically a sensitive artistic type seeking your soulmate.
However, in order to
- Express yourself artistically
- Find your soulmate
- Be the star of your own life
You need to know your star function.
The star function is the lens through which your INFJ type must express. There are 10 different star functions that when combined with INFJ creates 10 different starring roles for INFJ that each have their own style, compatibility, and type-casting.
The 10 Types of INFJ
- The Plutonian INFJ
- The Neptunian INFJ
- The Uranian INFJ: INTJ (ish)
- The Saturnian INFJ: A Conscience Made of Cardboard?
- The Jupiterian INFJ: God’s Gift to Heaven
- The Martian INFJ: Least Likely to be an INFJ
- The Venusian INFJ
- The Mercurian INFJ
- The Lunar INFJ
- The Solar INFJ
If you would like to know which type of INFJ you are, I can help you assess this through an astrological consultation. Cost: 150 USD. Send an email to blake@stellarmaze.com with I WANT STAR in the header to get started.
Interesting…I look forward to reading the articles.
Until recently I thought there was only the light vs dark dichotomy, but this delineates that further.
I guess it was no coincidence then that Daniel Day-Lewis was casted as Abraham Lincoln for the movie! (Assuming Daniel Day-Lewis is indeed an INFJ).
Seems like there are some massive contradistinctions within the type… owl vs dolphin couldn’t be more different! As couldn’t Lincoln vs Van Gough…
I wonder where Tolstoy fits into this…and Dostoyevsky. I don’t know if there could be any other that could label their own masterpiece (i.e., Anna Karenina) as “counterfeit art”
Hi! I’m an INFJ and I just wanted to say that I’m a really big fan of your work and that I’m definitely looking forward to your articles!
Hey, thanks for reporting in!
Dude where TF have you been my whole life! I just stumbled across you through a 2014 article. You tell the truth about who INFJ’s really are. Not the BS fairytale most people push.You spoke about how we are looking for a soul mate to come into our secret layers.. lmao.. and for whatever reason I love fire signs and a Sagittarius women OMG😍 how is that ever going to be a good idea 😂. I’m a Libra ☀️ Pisces 🌙 band Sagittarius rising so I guess you go with ☀️ which says Libra is ruled by Venus to find out what Im about to invest way too much time and thought into? This breakdown is new to me so that’s just intuition. Anyways I will definitely be subscribed to a few of your socials in the very very near future. I look forward to seeing if you can answer some of my most profoundly deep down the wrong hole questions! ✨🙂🙃🙂♎🕳️

so I guess you go with ☀️ which says Libra is ruled by Venus to find out what Im about to invest way too much time and thought into?
I wouldn’t go strictly by Sun sign, nor it’s ruling planet (in your case, Venus, because you are Sun sign Libra) to find out what type of partner you are compatible with.
You have to look to the whole chart to find out which planet is strongest, but the final arbiter should be just what makes sense. Because the principle I’m operating by here is that ONE of the planets will dominate the nature, so which one is it?
Combine that planet with INFJ and you have yourself a recipe for compatibility that is pretty irrefutable.
My operating theory is that whatever planet dominates your nature is that you must find another person that has that same dominance, and then you will be compatible on that basis.
To give slightly more info, I feel like all NF types are most compatible with each other in a general sense or class. So, for example, if you were an INFJ you would be most compatible in this general sense with INFP, ENFP, and ENFJ, and maybe another INFJ. Then, if you determined that you were an INFJ with a dominant Pluto, for example (a Plutonian INFJ), you would then want to find a partner that was an ENFP, INFP, ENFJ, or INFJ (one of the 4 NF types) that had this same planetary dominance (in this case, Plutonian dominance).
If you follow this recipe for compatibility, you should be highly compatible with a partner that you select in this fashion. And by compatible, I mean, you have the capability to develop a long-term relationship, which is relatively easy and frictionless when compared to random selection from the general population.
Ok so last summer I fumbled onto this website after a good friend who knows me well began reading about mbti and particularly infjs of which he assumed I was one…let me tell you that the whole realization was profound…no longer did I feel completely alienated from everything living being on this planet…(Well at times) But anyways I found this website which I my opinion is not only fucking amazing but the ONLY site of its kind and the only place worth reading a damn thing about mbti besides of Carl Jung himself…so to try and cut to the chase here im very interested in this 10 types of infj thang you got here…I’ve seen my birth chart and I am a Leo cancer rising and it does seem to fit… eerily actually…but heres where I am lost …how I guess do I ascertain what my ruling planet is…I believe it is the moon…although the sun is in my birth sign and yeah basically I’m inept when it comes to birth chart reading ..any input would be greatly appreciated…and yes I am saving up to pay you for a reading or consultation and or both…but as an infj I struggle profoundly keeping a job ,getting a job,or even remembering or understanding why the fuck I should so therefore and usually broke
..ok thanks for your time…peace
Hey Bobawn, glad you’re finding Stellar Maze amazing!
So, to ascertain your dominant planet is a bit of an art. It’s a combination of looking at the totality of the birth chart and your own nature. What role are you naturally cast in? Are you a cop (Martian INFJ), a hippie (Neptunian INFJ), or an alien abductee (Uranian INFJ)?
Generally, in the birth chart you will see the dominant planet to be one of the most angular planets in the chart and ruling other planets signs and angles of the chart (the rising sign is the first of four angles in the chart). For example, since you have Cancer rising, that would make the moon a first contender for being dominant planet. I would first look to the placement of the Moon by sign and angular placement. For example, if it were in the sign of Cancer and in the first house rising, that would probaly make your Moon the dominant planet (luminary) in your chart. But if it were in Scorpio (bad sign for moon) in the 5th house, then it probaly wouldn’t be.
Then I would have to look at your life history and see pictures/video of you, to determine the probable dominant planet. In short, I use a combination of astro-chart and actual life history to determine the likely INFJ subtype, however I don’t need the astro-chart to determine it, because the dominant planet should be clear in the nature of the person under question. In some of the examples of famous INFJ people I have included in each of the 10 type articles, I don’t know what their birth time is, so I can’t determine the dominant planet from their astro-chart. But it’s in their faces, their life history, and their works.
But that’s how I determine it. You must take into account that I have been studying astrology for 30 years and Myers-Briggs type theory for almost as long. I know how each of the planets would color the INFJ personality type, so I can see which of the 10 types of INFJ they are pretty easily with sufficient visual and life-history data. Many famous artists are INFJ, so I can see from their artistic works what niche of INFJ they are specializing in, whether it be written works, paintings, acting, or musical compositions and performance.
I think with some of these articles I have written on the 10 types of INFJ, some people can suss out their dominant emphasis for themselves. But if you need help determining it, the best bet is to consult with me on the matter.
