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)!

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.
