Mind spiritual types are people who connect using their intellect and the verbal or written word.  This type relies upon beautiful language and sound belief for their spiritual energy.

 

Mind spiritual types are often called into vocations that require reflection, innovative ideas and attention to details. Consequently, they can grow by looking at their opposite quadrant, Heart, to move from always being “in their head” and get their hands dirty a bit.
