Circulatory × Circulatory

Two Circulatories burn brightly. They also burn each other out.

Where it works

• Shared metabolism; neither finds the other exhausting in the way every other type does.
• The early phase of any project is electric; people remember the launch.
• Recovery from setbacks is fast on both sides; the next thing absorbs the last.

Where it grates

• Nobody is doing the slow part. The third month is the hardest month.
• Both seek stimulus; when it dries up at home, they look outside it.
• Feedback loops amplify; one party's restlessness ignites the other's.

When the noise stops, neither knows what they're doing here.

At work

Founding-stage teams, performance, frontline sales. Bad at: anything past month six. Hire the Muscular early.

In love

The early years are unforgettable. The marriage survives if both have done individual work and built an external structure neither will be tempted to set on fire.

As parents

Children have an exciting childhood and may be quietly wishing for a duller one. Worth naming.

As friends

Reunions that end in legends. Day-to-day, both have moved on to the next group.

A scene

Six weeks in, the company has investors, a logo, a launch party, and not a single shipped feature. They high-five and book a flight.
