So I finally got Carol Tuttle’s book It’s Just My Nature. I thought I had everything pretty well figured out at this point, but decided I needed to get it for reference. And so I made a great attempt to read through the whole thing, but found myself kind of skimming over the general information about energy typing because I was so keen on getting to the REAL parts…the Typing sections.
And when I did, well. I found out something really interesting.
I’ve known for a long time that I’m a Type 2 (though for a while I thought– or make that feared– I might be a Type 4). I know that I’m a lower energy movement in general, but that secondary has always kind of stumped me. I knew that it was a higher movement. I get these bursts of energy, and I tend to burn myself out quite easily if I don’t pay attention to what I’m doing.
So I was reading along through Type 1 and wondering that, although I see some superficial facial resemblances, I didn’t find a lot that meshed with my body movements. I just gave a shrug and moved on. Obviously I’m a secondary Type 1. After all, I know I’m not a secondary Type 3.
Type 2’s section was amazing and very validating. I saw sooo much of how I am, how I act and react, my inner motivations and thought processes through the entire section. Gosh, I even saw how I tend to write while reading through the stories of other ladies’ journeys through Dressing Your Truth and their realization that they were in fact a Type 2. I cannot, absolutely cannot, write a tiny little paragraph and be done with it…and anyone who’s read this blog (not that anyone has! Ha!) would see that so easily.
And honestly? At this point I kind of skipped over Type 3 altogether. I really skimmed through it super fast and moved on to Type 4. But then something made me go back and take a more detailed, thorough look at what I was reading there.
All of a sudden, I realized that I saw SO much of myself in the Type 3 section! It was like a lightning bolt out of the sky striking me straight in the head! Oh my gosh, it was so crazy! All of a sudden, I started seeing things I do (to some degree, of course, because this isn’t my primary, it’s my secondary). And the big kicker? I saw that my body movements– how I walk, how I sit, how I stand, how I get from place to place– are ALL Type 3! ALL of them.
How crazy is that?!
So now, after all this hemming and hawing and going back and forth…yes, I’m certainly changing my type again. I’m not a 2/1 after all.
I’M A 2/3!
And it’s really, really freeing. It’s funny how much lighter and not-stressed-out I feel about finally figuring this out. And even more interesting is how well this Type combination matches up with my astrological natal horoscope. I have so much fire in my chart it isn’t even funny (Sun in Aries, Venus in Aries, AND Mars in Aries…as well as Moon in Sagittarius!)…but I was so dead sure that I couldn’t ever be a Type 3. In fact, I was so sure that I put Three DEAD LAST in type order!
Surprise!
Now I understand more fully why I act and react in certain ways. Coming up sometime in the future I will break down my Type 2 and Type 3 secondary nature…in detail!
