In total there are 8 petals and 3 main axes: typology, antagonism and intensity.

Each petal shows the course of the basic emotions. This wheel is nothing more than a graphic in the form of a flower of different colors. The Plutchik’s wheel shapes these changes so that we can understand them better and thus have better emotional health. People need to adapt their way of being to the reality around them, this interaction also transforms their way of feeling. He started from the premise that we have certain basic emotions that evolve throughout our lives and that are transformed over time. He created it to see in a clear and didactic way the emotions and which can be their possible combinations.

The creator of the Plutchik’s Wheel is Robert Plutchick. It is the reference that we should use during the process of self-knowledge. Have you heard about the Plutchik’s Wheel and basic emotions? It may not sound like you but it is a simple and great tool to understand the origin of emotions.
