Part 2-The First 3 Types

Type 1: The Maker

It happens that when we lift up the corporeal circle, so to have it tread into the normal area of the two others. Mercury, Venus and Mars are privileged at the expense of Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun and the Moon. We are here in the presence of a very accentuated individuality, due to the astral body (Mercury) getting an abundance of vitality (Venus), that is used by an impatient manner acting compulsively (Mars). To thrash about, tirelessly act to satisfy demanding passions, at the same time deploying a great practical intelligence, this would be the characteristic of such an impetuous and lively nature. The weakness of the animic Spirit (Jupiter) will translate into a lowering of the concerns and conscience; diminution of materiality (Saturn) will also bring a lack of positivity and physical strength. The functioning body will get quickly exhausted. There will be more martial energy (Mars) than Solar ideality and more coarse sensuality (Venus) than pure feelings (Moon).

Type 2: The Dreamer

To the agitated, hyper-active type is opposed to the phlegmatic whose corporeal circle is withdrawn. Therefore, Mercury, Mars and Venus don’t really have an influence, so much that the personality (Mercury) fades away, the instincts (Mars) are tamed and vitality (Venus) remains languid. On the opposite side, the large functioning body (Saturn) works peacefully, without any fever; it becomes numb but obeys to the conscience (Jupiter) whose domain has widened a lot to the expense of the synthetic personality (Mercury). A beautiful ideality (Sun) and a good sentimental and dreamy soul (Moon) are connected to this thick body, more or less inert.

Type 3: The Peaceful

Let’s now push the circle of the Soul in the direction of Mars, whose domain is notably reduced in favor of Mercury, with gains for Jupiter and Venus at the expense of the Spirit (Sun) and the body (Saturn). It is here a strong personality in its core (Mercury), ruled by a rationally (Sun) lit conscience and benefits of a generous vitality, altruist fluids but shy, fearful, not daring to act due to a lack of martial initiative and energy (Mars). Sentimentality being neglected is fading into pity, full of sympathy, but in reality, dry. Spirit (Sun) loses in lucidity, and the functioning body (Saturn) becomes too sensitive and unwilling to make efforts.
