Tendencies
The individual of Earth Sunlight Yang temperament is balanced and centered: always broadly built and wide at the shoulders and hips, with a short neck, and fleshy, sometimes obese body. The person never plays sports for health, but only for pleasure.

The expression is soft and innocent, though the eyes can show many emotions ranging from joy to malice.

Childhood health is good, though the person may have some nose and throat problems in winter that will disappear in adolescence. The person eats a lot, has a sweet tooth, may become obese in pre-puberty, and later may suffer from sinusitis and acquire a red and congested complexion.

The Earth Sunlight Yang person has a good memory, but tends to make use of mnemonic devices. He or she likes intellectual games, word puzzles, puns, and riddles, and remembers statistics and strategies for winning, both at games and at politics

This person shows initiative and is practical, observant, liberal, polite, ironic, skeptical, and spirited. Basically non-emotional and extroverted, he or she downplays everything and thus appears objective. Other people often see this individual as comforting, reassuring and amusing, which is a mistake because the person is not especially aware of others' needs.

The person is very sensual but superficial in love affairs, does not have a tragic outlook on life, and may lack tact.

He or she has a happy disposition but may suffer from too much optimism (like spending money without having it). Though social success is important, such a person is bot very ambitious or willing to make big sacrifices, but will grasp opportunity if it happens to knock.

Illness comes late in life and almost always are due to excesses. This person is hard to treat because of the high priority on enjoyment.
