About the book: Astrology for grown-ups?  During conversations with two women his life this author tries to nail down a form of personality typing that marries principles of human evolution with personality fundamentals predicted by the time of year of birth.

The book contains descriptions of all the personality types he believes can be identified, and how to find out what type a person is.  More important than all the science, the author writes convincingly about the hows and whys of making relationships and how you can find your best partner (it's not what you think). For anyone wanting some kind of clue as to who is going to be good for them and why, then read this well-researched and wide-ranging book. You may find yourself looking at birth dates in a different way, and thinking some strange thoughts about what human society is all about. Men are not from Mars, nor women from Venus, they both come from the same planet, Earth, and they are a lot more similar than the rumours have it.More profiles and discussions will be posted from time to time.

All the types presented here are taken from this book.  An ebook version is available for download from Kobo Books at this link: http://bit.ly/V0uexj (app readers check out web link at bottom of this page)
---------------------------------------------
The author has identified 64 personality types. A person has one of 8 Majors and one of 8 Minors. Each overal type is described here. What type you are depends upon the latitude of your birth.

To find precisely which combination of Major and Minor you are you will need your birth day, and you will need to know  which hemisphere  you were born in and whether you were  born in the tropics.  The calendar varies over the leap year cycle.

(The hour of your birth is only needed if you are born very near the transition of one type to another.  If you are born on a day of the year when there is a transition and you don't know the hour you were born, consider that most people are born in the early morning. If the hour of the change between types is around the middle of the day then read both types to try and decide which one you may be. Recorded birth times are not necessarily very accurate, so even if you do know the time of your birth, and it is close to the transition, then read both types.)

You can find more precise details of your Major and Minor combination in the above book which describes the discovery of these types and ponders its meaning for the future evolution of society.
