This is the Body Type of the King.  Vital, active, intense, it is capable of immediate and impulsive action. The Essence chooses this Body Type for readiness and to engage in what might tough circumstances. Ruled by the adrenal glands, it is equips someone to respond in a flight or fight way. They may be quick to anger, but once calmed, they are ready to play. They want to diffuse tension. It enables Personality to project an air invincibility. Like the Chief Feature on the same axis, quick action, or reflex, is preferred.

Cultural Meaning

The martial arts have taken up almost a mystical quality in western culture. With an allure that might be called dangerous, they mark the man or woman who will stand and fight for themselves. Our love for the fighting man, and now woman, appeal to us because they exude a toughness seen as sexy, even exciting fear in both friend and foe. Mars, the God of War, reminds us that doing battle may seem honorable and reveal incredible strength and endurance, but when it is glorified, we can be certain of a continued supply.

Attributes of this Body Type…

• Reddish or auburn hair

• A natural taught and sinewy musculature that the person maintains with little or no exercise
• Compact, usually of average height
