What is the Junto Emotion Wheel?
The Junto Emotion Wheel is a free, interactive feelings wheel built around 100+ named emotions, organised into six primary families — joy, love, sadness, fear, anger and surprise — each branching into more specific secondary and tertiary emotions. Created by The Junto Institute in 2016 and used inside executive coaching since then, it lets you name what you feel in seconds and keep a private daily record of how your emotional life moves over time.
How it works
1. Tap an emotion.
Open the wheel, find the wedge that fits — joy, love, sadness, fear, anger or surprise — then narrow into the petal that lands.
2. Add the moment.
One short sentence: what just happened, who you were with, or what's still circling.
3. Watch your patterns.
Your check-ins assemble into a quiet record. Over weeks you start to see what stirs you, what calms you, what keeps coming back.
What changes
- Self-awareness. Land on the emotion, not just its presence.
- Empathy. Build the language to understand others.
- Practice. One check-in a day, one emotion at a time.
Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no credit card, no trial, no paywall.
How private are my entries?
Your check-ins are yours. Entries are stored encrypted at rest, tied to your account, and never sold, shared, or used to train models.
How long does a check-in take?
Sixty seconds.
Do I need to be a leader or executive?
No. The Wheel was first developed inside leadership coaching, but the practice is for anyone who wants more precision in how they read themselves and the people around them.
Where can I use it?
On the web at juntoemotionwheel.com, on iOS, and on Android.
