Transcript
Scroll to Shape and balance. The bars count your planets by element. Fire acts, Earth builds, Air thinks, Water feels. The tallest bar is your default temperament; the shortest is what you have to learn on purpose, and often what you are drawn to in other people. Under that are the modes: Cardinal starts, Fixed sustains, Mutable adapts. And above the bars is your chart shape, the overall pattern of planets around the wheel. A bowl lives in one half of the sky and has a mission to fill the other. A bucket has one planet doing all the talking. A splash is interested in everything.
