Provides an in depth review of the sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic temperaments and the combinations/compounds. She provides the formula she uses for calculating your temperament, which includes moon phase, season of birth, ascendant sign, ascendant ruler, moon sign and ruler. She also shows how Jung’s four functions (sensing, thinking, feeling, intuition) correlate to the four temperaments.

Great understanding of why temperament matters and what her recommended formula is and why. Comment on this and I can come back and say what it was if someone wants it. I used it as a reference for figuring out temperment.

Worthwhile approach to traditional astrological understanding of what is now days called psychology.
