Noel Tyl and Jung's 4 types

All,

I was wondering if anyone has ever used the chart analysis method of breaking down the chart into 4 quadrants and labeling them using Carl Jung's method:
- Intuition - quadrant 1 (houses 1-3)
- Feeling - quadrant 2 (houses 4-6)
- Sensing - quadrant 3 (houses 7-9)
- Thinking - quadrant 4 (houses 10-12)

The idea is that if a person has a lot of planets in a particular quadrant, they behave according to the indicated Jungian personality style.

Wondering,

Tim

That's interesting I've never seen this before, but I have only one of Tyl's books, but as far as It goes for me that does seem to be true. Thanks for the new info

I have seen Jung's intuition associated with the fire triplicity, feeling with water, sensation with earth and thinking with air by Liz Greene, I believe [it has been awhile.] So a type would be represented by one house in each quadrant in that model. But I have not seen entire quadrants associated with a single type. Interesting question. I, as well, would like to know if there is a model as you describe.

Hmmm... I have 2 in q1, 3 in q2, 2 in q3, and 1 in q4... Consistently an NF with Myers-Briggs testing, for what it's worth...

Tim,

What you mentioned regarding quadrants and types certainly rings true for me! I'm focused in quadrants 2 and 4 and certainly identify with feeling and thinking! It also resonates with what my elemental breakdown in my chart looks like: mostly water and air!

Interesting! However, I'm not sure if I'm proving the point here or not with my chart. I consistently test as an NF, with scores around 90-95% N and 75-80% F.

My chart by quadrant:

1--Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter
2--Neptune, Mars, Moon
3--Venus, Chiron
4--Sun, Saturn, Mercury

By quadrant, my chart is distributed rather evenly, in a mystic rectangle pattern. So under the idea of Myers-Briggs by quadrant, I would think the scores would be less extreme. There is less in the third quadrant, so maybe that is why my N score is so high? I have 3 planets in the 4th quadrant, but my Thinking score is low.

By element my chart is all fire and earth, with singletons in water and air. The iNtuition score, being associated with fire makes sense, but having a lot of earth would point toward scoring higher in Sensing, which would have knocked down the N a bit.

I know for myself, I identify with my moon sign more than anything else. My sun sign is about my asthetics, but not my behaviors or motivations. I'm all 5th house Sag moon.

I'm curious about the planet conditions that could strengthen the Myers Briggs quadrants. For instance, in my chart, everything in quadrants 1 and 2 are retrograde (the moon obviously is not retrograde, but it's at maximum position out of bounds so it's a misbehaver, and Mars is OOB, too). My point is that none of my planets in the lower part of my chart behave like the textbooks say they should. They operate out of the box and I've grown more and more comfortable with it as I've gotten older. So even though my 4th quadrant is a strong one, my Thinking score is relatively low, even though Mercury is strongly placed and Saturn is conjunct my midheaven.

What have you guys seen? Any planetary conditions that seem to place the emphasis in some quadrants over others?

Well, I do think types can be seen in the chart. I do not think quadrants have anything to do with it; I don't understand the logic behind that either. I'm an intuitive type (90-95%) and I have no planets in houses 1-3.

Hmm. I need to separate the planets according to WSH and Placidus altogether
Placidus: 1Q1, 4Q2, 4Q3, 1Q4
WSH: 1Q1, 2Q2, 6Q3, 1Q4
That means in Placidus, I have dominant sensing and feeling features, but in WSH, sensing prevails every sense that I have. But, I'm an INFJ, introvert + intuitive + feeling + judging...
