What are chart patterns and shapes?

Chart patterns describe how planets are distributed in your birth chart. Common patterns include: Bundle (planets clustered together - focused personality), Bowl (planets in half the chart - determined nature), Bucket (bowl with one planet opposite - funnel for energy), Seesaw (two opposing groups - seeking balance), Splash (planets spread out - diverse interests), and Locomotive (planets in 2/3 of chart - driven personality). These patterns add another layer of interpretation to your chart.
