Introduction
There is a quality of overdoing, like Phosphorus with friends and Nitrogen with the enjoyment of life. It indicates Phase 5 and Subphase 5.
They are highly strung, overstrung, overstimulated. They want everything from life at the same time. They want to achieve in their studies and job and want to have special, rewarding and artistic work. They want to make money to have a good life and be able to enjoy it with others. They want to have many friends and good connections with all of them. They need a good relationship, which has to warm, with good conversations and sex. They need to have a good body so they have to exercise and play sports. It is all too much. Students especially can get into the situation of exhaustion because of studying, having a job and needing to have connections, wanting to go to the cinema with all their friends, needing time for their boyfriend and having to go to exercise. On top of that they want to be autonomous and independent, making their own money and being independent from relationships. A typical ending is in mononucleosis.
They are very cheerful and friendly, easily making contact and having many friends. Friends are essential in their life. They like the connection, but also need the appreciation and recognition that they are doing well and achieving in life. People easily fall in love with them because they are so open.
