Where the arrows come from
Each arrow is calculated from the position of a specific point of the chart: Digestion — the Design Sun and Earth, Environment — the Design Nodes, Motivation — the Personality Sun and Earth, Perspective — the Personality Nodes. The position within a line is divided into six colors, a color — into six tones. The color sets the mode itself (each arrow has six of them), and the tone sets the direction: tones 1–3 give a left arrow, tones 4–6 — a right one.
Left and right
A left arrow is an active, focused, “strategic” mode: a narrow beam, a sequence of actions, one thing at a time. A right one is receptive, wide, “peripheral”: a panorama instead of a beam, flexibility instead of a plan. Neither side is better than the other — they’re two ways of working, and the torment begins when you live by someone else’s.
An honest warning about accuracy
The Sun passes through one tone in about 22 minutes. An error in the birth time of a few minutes can flip the Digestion and Motivation arrows to the opposite. That’s why, if the time isn’t exact, we don’t show the Variables at all — guessing here would be dishonest.
