"Shaping of Charts"

A technique introduced by Mark Edmond Jones and expanded by Dane Rudhyar, which uses the overall shape formed by the positions of the various bodies to interpret a natal chart. Jones divides all charts into seven types or groups, each indicative of a type of personality.

The seven categories of horoscopic patterns or distributions are called; Splay, Splash, Bundle, Bowl, Locomotive, Bucket, and Seesaw shapes or patterns.

This is one of the primary techniques of modern Holistic Astrology.
