According to Altea, characterial nature of individuals depends on spiritual innate elements, and not only on genetic or cultural-social factors.

There are five fundamental signs, five energy groups in which she classifies the identities of the souls: Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Sulphur. Altea's soul signs are however different from astrological signs.

The Fire signs are emotionally driven; they are passionate, creative, challenging, often uncompromising and willful.

The Earth signs are driven by planning and strategizing; athoritative, resolute, they are often resourceful and naturally inclined to take action; also pragmatic, realist and rational.

The Air signs are passive or passive-aggressive. The Air energy group is often calm and gentle, but acts through frustration and oppression.

The Water signs are driven by evaluation and compromise; they like fairness and harmony, adapting themselves to situations and valuing everything objective.

The Sulphur signs belong to a destructive dark group; this is the only sign who isn't created by God. The Sulphur energy group is driven by evil and by a desire to give pain anywhere.

Each sign (except Suplphur) is subdivided into three kinds of energy: introvert, central, and extrovert. Fire group is respective composed from Retrospective, Dreaming, and Bright Star souls; Earth group from Hunter, Visionary, and Warrior souls; Air group from Traveller, Prophet, and New Born souls; Water group from Seeker, Peacemaker, and Old souls. So there are twelve signs, more the Sulphur one: thirteen in total. Through a test, Altea supplies explanations and methods to help readers recognize their soul sign, and their ways of relating to other souls.
