Theme: The need for connection and strength.
In many members of the Poaceae there is lightheadedness accompanied by vertigo and laughter. Like the other Commelinid Orders they can be lively and sexual but quickly become lonely, exhausted, dull and irritable - they just run out of energy.
There are aspirations but often with a sense of failure. They tend to be isolated and introspective. They don't have the strength and personality to follow things through which is a strong characteristic of Stage 4.
When they do fail the pathology often seems to affect the sexual organs.
The Lanthanide issue of inner power could be very important for Graminea patients.
