The Institution of Marriage in English Renaissance Drama
Understanding the institution of marriage in this way, it becomes readily apparent that the romantic love that we in the 21st century so favour in relationships was not a key factor in the Renaissance equation.

Today and Tomorrow are Phlegmatic/Melancholic
By nature, the Phlegmatic is shamefaced and sober and the Melancholic, suspicious and musing. Put the two together and there isn’t much you can do to balance out what is likely to feel like a cold shower.

The Troubles of a Certain Mr A & the Predictive Technique of Firdaria
When we further discover that his Mars in Pisces is in the terms of Venus in his natal chart, we have reason to fear that the fiery relationship forged during 2010-2012 will now come back to haunt him.

Today and Tomorrow are Phlegmatic/Choleric Days
