Four Types:

Two types are Balanced, a third is Anxious, and a fourth is Deliberate. Distinction is made between the two Balanced types of mental chemistry.

Balanced: Mercury behind the Sun and Fast Moon The native has a sharp mind, is observant, and is logical. Observes situations quickly, and then processes this information carefully.

Balanced: Mercury ahead of the Sun and Slow Moon Perception is slow and deliberate, and the mind reacts quickly on these impressions.

Anxious: Mercury ahead of the Sun and Fast Moon The native jumps to conclusions too readily. Very reactive.

Deliberate: Mercury behind the Sun and Slow Moon The native receives and processes information deliberately and slowly.

Which type are you? Do you relate to the descriptions?

That`s him, yes. lol

My Dad and brother are the same type as me.

My Mom`s Moon`s speed is 13°09 - does that mean she has a slow Moon? I mean it cannot get much closer to 13°10.

Well if we count that as slow MOon she is a deliberate type.
She processes thoughts quite differently to my Dad, my brother and me.

My best friend is a deliberate type, too. I sometimes have been joking that she seems to be more similiar to my Mom than I am. lol

I have this one:

Balanced: Mercury behind the Sun and Fast Moon: The native has a sharp mind, is observant, and is logical. Observes situations quickly, and then processes this information carefully.

---

quote:

---

“The ‘fast’ Moon … scans rapidly with a wide-open search pattern. If there is anything going on, anything new or unfamiliar, anything different from expectation, it is instantly perceived. In a complex environment, as most social environments are, there are so many details and processes to notice that the ‘fast’ Moon native has his mind receiving an avalanche of input, fresh data.”

---

quote:

---

The natives whose perceptions are alert move quickly to get on top of a situation: Their immediate impulse is to attack. They like things to be clear and definite and aboveboard, so they are nonplused by subtleties. When they have a bee in their bonnet, they have no patience for any other point of view, nor are they interested in exploring possible consequences and ramifications — they don’t even want to hear about such things. They move by impulse and instinct; they make up their minds immediately, and once their minds are made up, they cannot be budged or moved to reconsider. In conflict, they try to take their opponents by storm, to overwhelm them, to give them no space in which to move. Their actions and reactions are quick and decisive.

---

quote:

---

The difference here lies in how people categorize information, interpret it, and fit it into preconceived patterns, whether these be individualistic (eager) or conventional (certain). This is a process of reason or self-consciousness rather than one of knee-jerk response.

---

quote:

---

The “eager” natives, on the other hand, are unrestrained and experimentative. They don’t need any social authority to sanction their actions, but rather they follow their inclinations of the moment. They do what is expedient or convenient rather than what will be thought praiseworthy by others. They are optimistic and freewheeling and able to bounce right back whenever life slaps them down.

---

quote:

---

“When the effective set of mind … shows the combination of rational eagerness and perceptive alertness, the life is usually characterized by an altogether unnecessary impatience. The native is inclined to stumble over his own toes most of the time, and he is apt to end up with actions and associations that not only fail to fulfill their promise but often handicap him very seriously by exhausting every potentiality of his make-up.”5 Basically, what happens is that these natives are overly intense and pushy. They tend to blow minor issues out of all proportion and, conversely, to trivialize matters of the greatest urgency and seriousness. They run around in circles and don’t get anywhere. They set up a myriad of compulsive routines and are greatly annoyed whenever these are challenged or abrogated by circumstances. They have a fitful, flighty energy that is never comfortable or in repose; they are constantly fluttering and fussing about, making this or that unnecessary adjustment to the environment, to arrange everything neatly so that they can finally relax — but of course, they rarely do. They are constantly preparing for a future that never comes.

I guess it's understandable that I often think 20 minutes have gone by and it's only been 5.

I don't fit this description though

''In contrast, natives whose perceptions are deliberate move slowly and hesitatingly: Their immediate impulse is to draw back. They approach things by indirection, by outflanking the situation, by bogging things down and operating under the cover of confusion. Where the alert types act like sharks, the deliberate types act like octopuses — hiding on the bottom and masking their intentions in a cloud of murk. In conflict, these individuals refuse to expose themselves but rather outwait their opponents, letting them make the errors.''

Gosh I don't act like octopuses! I'm blunt, harsh sometimes,straight to the point. As 'refusing to expose myself', I don't have to expose myself because most of the times I'm the initiator! If I don't agree with something, I'll be the first one to voice it out..

For the Moon speed, click this link:
http://www.astro.com/swisseph/swepha_e.htm

Find the year of your birth, click that and then scan through the PDF to find your Month of Birth. After this find your day of birth and calculate the difference between of the degrees between the 'Day of Birth' and 'Day after Birth'.

All times for the Swiss ephemeris are at midnight, so no problem.
