it's just getting started
Basically it's a spiritual development system (or at least it was supposed to be) where people identify with 1 of 9 ego-fixations that forms their motivations and general life strategy. However, chasing these desires leads to dissatisfaction because it's further identifying with an image and not the universe and everything within in.
I remember reading The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram by Sandra Maitri and it was interesting with the way it described the inner lives of each fixation but it didn't really give my fixation much advice other than "uhhh recognize that you're in your head a lot and connect with your body."
While there are some online tests to find out yours fixation, they often seem to fall into the trap of treating it like a gimmicky personality thing to brag about. If you're interested, I would recommend reading further about it. I particularly like this site.
