Personality Types

The "good" and "bad" of a Deteriorate, Negative, Divestive - SEVEN

 MAJORS

MINORS

MINORS

Each Major Icon card is equal to two Minor Suit cards.

Coins and Staves show us the
Yang : Tangible : Transient : Crystalline : Particle Nature of Things.
Roses and Swords reveal the
Yin : Intangible : Perpetual : Amorphic : Wave Nature of Things.
Coins and Roses show us the
Yang : Positive : Ameliorate : Investive path of these two sides.
Staves and Swords show us the
Yin : Negative : Deteriorate : Divestive path of these two sides.
Both Ameliorate and Deteriorate paths have
Moderate ("good") and Extreme ("bad") possibilities to consider.

It's a matrix SYSTEM! It has many layers, many levels.

This page describes the Moderate and Extreme of a deteriorate Seven (7). I leave it to you to extract the yin from the yang from each Moderate and Extreme! Then, extract the yin and yang from each Moderate and Extreme of an Ameliorate Seven (7)!

- Awkward ~ Hesitation ~ Struggling - These people don't plan very well. When the iron is hot, they don't strike. When you pass them the ball, they drop it. When they see an opportunity, they hesitate and lose it. If a rhythm is established, they'll break it.

--------------------

Other General Observations:

They straddle the line between reality and fantasy in ways that would curl your hair! This often makes them just too weird for most people to take.

Thinking:
Their thinking is over complicated and masochistic. Their reality side is ponderous and paranoid. They struggle with everything and then lash out with violence when their urges are not met.

They are all about sacrilege. They have strong opinions about religion, they think it's a crock of shit. They know there is more out there than most people lead us to believe. And they know that the reason we are not told is because it is just too scary. But it's there. They see it every day. They tend to be superstitious. Their fantasy side is usually extremely bizarre, dark, aberrant, with dark "Gothic" spiritual overtones. They are definitely "connected" to the dark side of being. They are a conduit through with these horrific forces may emerge. People are fascinated by them as freakish curiosities. They know that and often cultivate that scary side of themselves for their own wicked ends.

Philosophy:
They believe life is absolutely meaningless, stop looking.
