C is denoted as sea and air...The Feng Shui of the Musical World. Innocence that captures the heart, can find happiness in everything, curious, touches everything to see what it feels like, sensuous, a brand new day, no boundaries, skips happily, not self concious, bossy, when she wants something she asks for it and thinks of nothing else till she gets it, just for the joy of being alive she sings, happy in praise, questions everything, why, she learns and then tells you something that will take you by surprise, keeps on trying, when they figure things out it is like the sunshine itself. No judgement in their heart, they are flawed too, they are a part of all of us. The Inner child. Also associated with A Minor.

The Recluse, approachable at first, captivating, what comes next, life isn't easy, his heart has hardened to life, petrified about other people so pushes them away, enjoys the bleak, spends days watching movies buried beneath the blankets, brooding, woe is me, the victim of life, focusses on the details, obsesses over them, finds solace in self pity, imagined a different life, had hopes, own worst enemy, fare share of misfortunes, more fragile than the rest of us, never able to bounce back from a challenge, the simplest things can be difficult, the will to change has gone, inertia, they say it feels good to be sad, so don't feel sorry for them.

Dashing, stylish, agile, fit, breaker of hearts, lock up your daughters, charmer, trickster, rogue, he sees it as his destiny, the soul of a poet, writing songs, poetry about life and love, he needs to break a few hearts to get the feelings for his poetry, he can't commit it would affect his work, his flamboyant behaviour ends up as just plain sad, he sees himself as an artist, to others its just another tale.

B Major – The Artist, leather bound notebook and pen, eyelids half closed, somewhere far away, he is imagining his next creation, already taking shape in his mind, forgetful of his art, beautiful surroundings, moves slowly, it takes time to create beauty, he glances up with a half smile at beauty passing him by, he may see lazy but this is how he works, laid back with a different clock to the rest of society, but it takes time to make beautiful things, enjoys the classics, food, wine, languages of the world, he may disappear for a few days then in what appears to be out of the blue a masterpiece is here, his latest work of genius has arrived, he has captured all there is to know of the human condition in his art, he leaves you in a state of awe.

The Crone, the old soul, the modern world tires her, crooked wooden house, tends her medicinal plants, distain for mankind's folly's, old now, lined skin, hard to image her as young but when she was she was fanciful a free dancer, heart stopping beauty, even then she was wilful and distance, not easy to know, the long years have isolated her, children wont pass in front of her house, stews her cauldron, a student of folk law, a keep of knowledge, carries wisdom of the Earth, no one knows why she is in such pain but you can see it in her eyes, works with her hands, tilling the soil, caring for animals as the seasons pass, in winter she rarely stirs, but she is inside, you want to ask her for something but you are too afraid to knock at the door, so you turn and walk away, you have missed an opportunity.
