Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Below is a description of the Four Personality Types taken from a book entitled "Whats Your Type".The basic theory is that all people fall into one of these categories and it becomes there dominant temperament for life , with one of the others being a seconday temperament.This temperament effects everything from your outlook , to your style of dress ,work habits and relationship skills.I was having a conversation with another Astrologer and as we started to discuss these four types , and we began debating about what Astrological correlations would coincide with these four Types.I proposed that these Types were loosely based around the Astrological elements.Fire being the Choleric Type, Air being the Snaguine, Water being the Melancholic, and Earth being the Phlegmatic.My cohort believes that they relate more to the Zodiac signs , or possibly planetary strenghth in the Horoscope.What im asking the people on the list is if they can examine the Four Types and give me feedback as to what Astrological correlations (if any) these four Persnality Types may symbolize.....thanks Zamani Personality

The four personality types are not a new concept: they go back to Hippocrates. They relate to the four elements: Choleric: Fire Sanguine: Air Melancholic: Earth Phlegmatic: Water Hope this helps best regards Maddalena - Zamani Feelings gjlist Thursday, February 21, 2002 3:07 PM
