It's not based on the Zodiac, it's based on Galen's temperament theory:
The Greek physician Galen, AD 130-200, worked in the filed of human anatomy where he identified numerous muscles for the first time and showed the importance of the spinal cord noting the resulting paralysis when the cord was cut at different levels. Born in Pergamum, Galen resided chiefly in Rome and was personal physician to several emperors. Credited with some 500 tretises, Galen correlated earlier medical knowledge with his own discoveries.
Galen was the first to consider the pulse a diagnostic aid. He showed that arteries carrying blood, not air, and added greatly to knowledge of the brain and nerves. His written tretises survived as the medical authority until the 16 century.
Galen introduced the aspect of four basic temperaments reflecting the humors: the sanguine, bouyant type; the phlegmatic, slugish type; the choleric, quick-tempered type; and the melancholic, dejected type. Galen also classified drugs in terms of their supposed effects on the four humors. He thus created a systematic guide or selecting drugs, which, unfortunately, was scientifically incorrect.

I don't feel I know a whole lot about you, but from what little I've seen, I would say Choleric/Melancholy...or maybe Melancholy/Choleric would be better. Not real sure which.
Choleric Strength/Weakness I see in you: You appear to be a hard worker, and get right to it without putting it off. And sometimes a dash of brusqueness shows through.
Melancholy Strength/Weakness I see in you: You appear to have a caring, sensitive, and creative side to you...along with the mood swings.
I just can't figure out which one I'd put first.

three years ago I clocked out as a Choleric/Melancholy and last year as a Choleric/Sanguine......

If this is the case, then I would say Choleric/Melancholy.
I have seen that a Melancholy can masquerade as a sanguine...but only for a little while.
It think it has to do with the test being taken during an 'up' time.

Melancholy/choleric - Is it the same as choleric/melancholy or is it merely the reciprocal?
Melancholy Strength:6 Weakness:8
35%
Phlegmatic Strength:5 Weakness:6
28%
Sanguine Strength:3 Weakness:1
10%
Choleric Strength:6 Weakness:5
28%
This kind of testing is for entertainment purposes only: the validity of such testing has not been confirmed by any competent authority (such as God and His word).
