In the Phlegmatic-Sanguine, phlegmatic stability rules and sanguine expansion serves it, supplying pleasure, flexibility, alternatives, and company. The aim is to build or preserve a configuration in which one can live well, and the result is an adaptive tranquility. The image is the daisy, in which the quiet continuity of the leaf gains an affable, flowering openness.
They may resist change while the previous configuration seems recoverable, but when they conclude there is no reasonable way back, they look for another routine, another setting, other people, or another form of pleasure, and they rebuild their life. This apparent contradiction, someone sensitive to the cost of change who suddenly changes everything, is explained by the aim: when the current configuration no longer keeps a livable life, change becomes the way to set up another one worth keeping. In my observation, the Phlegmatic-Sanguine can distance themselves from people or settings and say no firmly when that restores peace to their life.
The good proper to this form is not merely avoiding conflict, but finding concrete conditions in which care for life can last and be shared, with small joys, company, and a home where it is good to be. The temptation proper to it is to make tranquility absolute, when being well comes to define what is good and the person abandons a known duty, or hurts someone, just to ward off an avoidable disturbance. Resting when it is due and leaving a harmful setting belong to the good, not to this disorder.
The mature form of the Phlegmatic-Sanguine is to preserve a livable life without fleeing necessary disturbance. Their peace stops being the supreme criterion and becomes subordinate to the good, and they remain gentle, calm, and approachable, but no longer turn meekness into flight.
