Yes, supposedly there's an ancient astrology connection.

Wiki excerpt:
Quote:
Modern astrology takes many of its insights on personality from the field of psychology. Traditional astrologers of the past, in contrast, considered the four elements of Antiquity and their qualities as these manifested in human health and behaviour. The four temperaments are:

Choleric (hot and dry) equates to the fire element and the signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.
Sanguine (hot and moist) refers to the air element and the signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Phlegmatic (cold and moist) connotes the water element as well as Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
Melancholic (cold and dry) indicates the earth element, and Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
