and clarity in your life. When life feels overwhelming, they can help you logically sort out your problems
and find effective solutions. Concerned with fairness and honesty, they will be the person who gives you the
tough-advice that ultimately changes your life for the better. These are often the types that help people
in broad, global ways. For example, trying to fix the justice system rather than directing all their time
into one specific case. When they see injustice, they try to help by fixing the entire system that is creating
the injustice so that as many people can be helped as possible.
The Enhancer is not hard to approach for help if they do not know you and your request is not too “out there”
they will probably help you.
If they do know you and like you, you will not have any problems receiving help they can spare.
If they do know you and do not like you, as you have been classified as an 'idiot', or do not know you
and do not like the vibe that you are giving off then you have fcuk all chance of being assisted
unless there is no choice - e.g. their boss ordered them to assist.
