  • Temperament: Astrology's Forgotten Key
    In this introduction to temperament and how it can be used in astrological practice, Dorian will explain the ancient concept of temperament and its long history in astrology. She will talk about the qualities hot, cold, wet and dry as components of the elements, planets, signs and humors; and the humors themselves: choleric, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic.

    Why is temperament something astrologers should use in chart interpretation? What is your temperament, and how is it reflected in your birth chart? How does your temperament fit (or not) with the people in your life? You'll go away with techniques for using temperament in your own practice.
