Turnaround Story
A deep early low, then a strong second half. The hardest opening of the seven — and one of the fastest recoveries.
Illustrative shape — not a real person's chart. Birth to 90.
What the curve looks like
- The deepest dip of any type — the defining feature.
- Very low early momentum. The opening years sit at the bottom.
- Fast recovery once the low is behind.
- A back half that clearly outruns the front.
Who it tends to read for
Hits hardest if you can name a stretch that went badly — and a point where the direction flipped.
What it does not say
The chart marks the shape, not the reason. A deep early low is not an explanation of what happened, and a strong back half is not a schedule.
How the type is decided
trelun converts your birth moment to apparent solar time, maps it onto a cycle structure, and measures the shape of the resulting curve — where the peak lands, how wide the swings are, how deep the dips go, how fast the line recovers. The type is whichever of the seven prototypes that shape sits closest to. Nothing is chosen by hand.

The other six
- Late-Blooming GrowthThe strongest stretch sits in the back half. The opening years look quiet — the weight arrives later.
- High-Beta GrowthThe widest range of the seven. Big highs, real dips — both from the same wiring.
- Stable CompounderThe quietest range of the seven, tilting up for decades. Almost no drama — most of the gain is accumulation, not an event.
- Cyclical BuilderThe most turning points of any type. The line rises and resets in repeating runs — not one long trend.
- Early MomentumThe earliest peak of the seven. The opening years carry the most weight — then the work becomes editing, not writing.
- Resilient ClimberReal dips, paired with the fastest recovery of any type. The chart takes damage — and does not stay down.
