Mesomorph (Pitta or Fire Type)
Fire types are the bilious types as bile is how their dominant element of fire, and a secondary water element, exist in the body. This shows a hot constitution and there is the ability to digest and assimilate a great deal. When there is too much heat in the body, however, there is anger or frustration. There can be a need to control others, and their own lives, through constant scheduling and planning.
Physically, they are medium in stature and have medium-size features. In terms of proportion, they are seen to fall in between both air and water types. Their pulse is likened to a frog – bounding and forceful.
They have good muscle mass and are naturally geared towards competition. Their skin colour is light and they have freckles and moles. They burn easily in the sun and, when out of balance, they suffer from burning sensations in general. This may lead to fevers, infections and inflammations. Anger is present when there are indications of an excess. They have light-coloured eyes that are sensitive to the sun and light-coloured, thin hair that turns grey or falls out early in life.
They are good at applying themselves to an exercise program, but the tendency here is to have an all-or-nothing approach. They can view things as black or white and would benefit from developing a softer approach to their exercise regime and their lives in general, although they will need to find an outlet for their ambitions and their competitive streak.
Fire types have a well-developed musculature which can allow them to work on physical activities that require more strength than an air type is able to muster. Although they do not have as much endurance as pure water types, so allowing for this and not pushing too hard for too long is best for them.
Tension can build up in the body if there is too much competitiveness. Holding back a bit is always advisable for this type, considering that fire types are more prone to injury than any other type.
