a person's or animal's nature, esp. as it permanently affects their behavior

 

I thought the following was relevant too because it talks about 12 semitones which is the same number of signs in the Zodiac!  Hmmmm…connectedness.

the adjustment of intervals in tuning a piano or other musical instrument so as to fit the scale for use in different keys; in equal temperament, the octave consists of twelve equal semitones. (2)

In the Tarot the element of Earth is represented by the Coins (pentacles). (3p10)

In ancient Indian texts the Earth elements is the Tattwa called Prithivi. (3p10)  Through the interaction of Fire, Water, and air the Earthy principle was solidified.  It takes all 3 elements to form the material Earth we all live on.  Bardon describes the Earth element principle as a tetrapolar (4-pole magnet).  The Earth element therefor is electromagnetic. (3p12)
