If you have some exposure to traditional astrology, or modern revivals of it, there’s a chance you will have heard of the four temperaments, of which one was believed to be more dominant than the others in each person’s constitution: sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. While this theory originated in a medical context in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates (5th–4th centuries BCE), and was put to practice in astrological medicine as well, for centuries astrologers used it to categorize and distinguish people psychologically. What’s the (pseudo-)scientific basis of this theory? What are the psychological profiles described by the four temperaments, and what astrological techniques did traditional astrologers use to determine which temperament is indicated as the most dominant one in the birth chart? Also, could the theory of the four temperaments have implications for synastry, or the astrology of relationships? Join Khalid, Mandy, and Kevin for a deep dive into this fascinating topic!
