- I have little additional information on the Bucket since Maggie did such a good
- job except for a few notes.

- Having married a "bucket" ( I mean a person with a Bucketed chart) and for
- unknown reasons having attracted several people with buckets
- into my sphere of being in the world I can only but agree
- with Jones and others who rather allow a 3 degrees orb for the two planets at
- the apex or handle.
-
- Bucket people are driven to achieve objectives. They are able to concentrate
- efforts on tasks. Never leaving anything behind until they get it done. Bucket
- charts are easy (astrologically speaking) to read because all revolves around
- the energies of the handle. They are fascinating in synastry charts. The handle
- of the bucket of my better half is conjunct my Sun. I knew we would be good
- friends even before our first date (I had made her chart early on).
-
- Examples of Bucket people are: Napoleon Bonaparte, DAnte, Du Maurier,
- Evangeline Adams, and George B Shaw.
-
- For more information on Marc Edmund Jones original work see THE GUIDE TO
- HOROSCOPE INTERPRETATION (Wheaton, IL: The Theosophical Publishing House,
- 1941).
-
- The planet(s) at the handle are very important. It is through the house
- and sign they occupy that all energy from the bucket pours out. Think of it as
- the nozzle of a hose, or perhaps as the lens of a projector, through which the
- energy flows fromthe bucket into the sign and house of the singleton, giving
- this area great emphasis.
-
- Some time ago I posted the chart of a native who had a bucket in his natal. The
- Handle was Saturn in Capricorn in the 4th house. My reading of his chart was
- fascinating. In the sixties he worked as an engineer in the drawing and
- building of underground shelters, houses, deposits, etc. Later he concentrated
- in underground residences with beautiful patios open to scenic views.
- He had those drawing hanging all over his house. He also worked as consultant
- to underground deposits and building of basements for residences. Now
- that is a literal reading of a bucket's handle in Saturn in Capricorn in the
- 4th!
