🍰 Astro Bite: 3 Things You Need to Know About the "Bowl" Chart Shape

If only half of your chart (~180°) is filled with planets and the rest is empty, you likely have a "Bowl" chart shape. Here are 5 things you need to know about it.

1. ᴘᴏʟᴀʀɪᴛʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴇᴀʀᴄʜ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ "ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ʜᴀʟꜰ"

This chart pattern shows an imbalance in your psyche. You are likely to feel a certain level of internal pressure and restlessness. You can have the sense that a part of you is missing, and you need to find your "other half".

Normally, we use this phrase in terms of relationships, but it doesn't have to be about you being a love addict - it mostly depends on which half of your chart is empty:

Left Half - you feel the need to develop a stronger sense of identity and take care of your own needs

Right Half - you want to learn more about other people and their needs

Lower Half - you feel called to become more introspective and find a sense of internal stability and emotional fulfillment

Upper Half - you want to put yourself out there and develop your public persona, goals, and ambitions

2. ᴏᴠᴇʀᴄᴏᴍᴘᴇɴꜱᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛᴍᴇɴᴛ

There is something called an "arrow" area which astrologers calculate to analyze the Bowl. We take a look at the center of the filled half and then, we shoot an imaginary arrow to the opposite point.

The arrow area shows us what exactly you will struggle with the most in life, and what is stirring a lot of pressure and insecurity in you. The paradox is that you might actually be quite active and even outwardly successful in this area since you will feel driven to compensate for your lack of confidence in it by developing related skills and learning more about it.

However, you aren't likely to achieve lasting inner peace by doing that. The key to your contentment lies in the planets at the "edges" of the Bowl - they are the closest to the missing half and thus, have the strongest connection to it.

3. ꜱᴜʙᴊᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴘᴇʀᴄᴇᴘᴛɪᴏɴ

You are likely to struggle to perceive reality in a holistic way. Your thinking is likely to be more subjective. Again, it depends on which half of your chart is empty:

Left Half - you can be prone to put other people's needs before yours and worry too much about what they think and want; possible issues with self-confidence

Right Half - you can be too independent and concerned with your own needs and desires, which can cause issues in your relationships

Lower Half - you are likely to be more extroverted and take other people's opinions too seriously; you can be too focused on material reality and external achievements

Upper Half - you are likely to be an introvert who is predominantly driven by your emotions and instincts; you can struggle to see how your actions and personality affect other people.

Note: Everything that we struggle with can be subject to overcompensation. My advice is to always consider both polarities of a placement, and study it. E.g., if the lower half of your chart is empty, but you find that you are a hardcore introvert, it can be because you are overcompensating for the lack of internal stability and emotional fulfillment that you feel.

All and all, this is one of the most interesting chart shapes (patterns) to look at, and as you can see, there are plenty of things we can analyze in it.

If you aren't sure about whether or not your chart is a Bowl, you can send me a screenshot of it via the ask box or DM, and I'll help you out!

Hey! Thank you for doing progressed sun reading! My progressed sun is in cancer 9 degrees 29 mins in 4th house.

Hope you're having a blessed day! <3

Hello! :) Thank you for giving me the exact degrees <3

Sabian Symbol for 9°♋: "A small naked girl bends over a sparkling pond trying to catch a fish."

Spontaneous fun. She's "naked" - society's rules and taboos aren't affecting her, yet. Innocent hope and playful attitude. Finding joy in the process instead of chasing the results (will she catch the fish? who knows and who cares? it's fun to keep trying!) On a negative note - being easily distracted, and chasing windmills. Naivety.

I am looking at the following degree, as well. When your Sun passes 9° 30', it will begin to shift more toward the energy of the 10th. This is what we do with Sabians - we round them up. So, the girl with the pond - that has been your energy for quite some time.

Sabian Symbol for 10°♋: "A large diamond in the first stages of the cutting process."

Revealing hidden potential and talents. Working on something with dedication and patience. Striving for excellence. Precision. Chiseling and polishing. Improvement. Repetition. Applying pressure. On a negative note - leaving things unfinished. Lacking vision and focusing on the flaws (yours or those of a project).

Gene Key 39 (Provocation->Dynamism->Liberation)

This is a threshold moment! You have experienced the energy of Gene Key 52 (which is about being really stressed out at a lower vibration) for the past few years, and now, when your Sun reaches 9°30' in the next few days, it will shift to GK 39 and stay there for the next 5 1/2 years! It's important to be mindful of GK 39 Shadow vibration creeping in and strive toward the Gift.

When you aren't in alignment, you feel "PROVOCATION": Being easily provoked by people and provoking people, yourself. Emotional manipulation. Guilt-tripping. A game of chess. Violence. Taking things personally. Shallow breathing. Fatigue. Trapped and unexpressed creative energy.

"The next time someone provokes you emotionally, try to understand what really just happened to you. If you reduce it down to essentials, all that happened was that someone resonated some speech codes by means of their vocal cords, and this simple collection of tones caused you to react in a violent unconscious emotional manner. In the old days, they would have called that other person a wizard to exert such control over you."

When you are in alignment, you feel "DYNAMISM": Childlike energy and curiosity. Doing what you love! Getting back in touch with your genius. Deep breathing. Expansive presence. Contagious energy and optimism. Re-awakened life force. Waves of creativity splashing around you. Fearless (warrior) spirit. Stoicism in the face of provocation. Emotional stability. Provoking and bringing out the creativity in others, instead of their pain.

"Play is dynamism, exemplified...Sadly, in many cultures, mostly Western, children are sent to school at some point within their first seven years and their natural seven-year cycle of unstructured play is interrupted. This early emphasis on mental learning interferes with the child’s basic genetic need to express its dynamism through its body, rather than through its mind."

And it's interesting that it's in your 4H of childhood, home, emotional conditioning, and foundation in life! It seems like, for the next few years, you'll be on a journey toward emotional maturity and learning how to get back in touch with your inner child's creativity! The more you dive deeper into yourself (honestly, breathing exercises would be soo beneficial!), the less reactive you will be, and the more spaciousness you'll create to be able to hear the voice of your inner child.

Doing what you love (or used to love as a child) will be essential, but make sure you pair it with a healthy dose of practicality - the diamond WILL require some dedicated work and applied pressure to shine and reveal its inherent beauty. Hold the vision for what it (or YOU) could become, and don't give up!

Beware of showing that dangerous cranky crab energy that we all fear and know about! 😂

I understand you could be having issues with multiple areas of your life right now, and I am really sorry if that's the case! For this poll, please, choose the one that gives you the most anxiety/the one that occupies your mind the most.

This is one of many polls I'll be doing in the future on this blog. I want to connect with you guys on a deeper level. I wish to understand where you're coming from and what kind of messages/astrology content would serve you best.

Many hugs from this Cancer Moon! ❤

🌸A New Beginning🌸

If we were in a romantic relationship, now it'd be the right time to ask me the legendary "What are we?" question. I've been on and off with the blog, trying things out, disappearing, and reappearing again. It's time to elucidate the situation. (guess how much I wanted to use that word!)

First of all, happy New Moon in Taurus! ♉ It's a beautiful one, and I posted about it on Medium, so check that out if you're interested! 🌸Okay, it's a little late, but in my defense...time doesn't exist! 🤣

Folks, during the past few months, I've become utterly and irrevocably OBSESSED with DEGREES! I am dying to show you their magic and how they can bring any chart placement to life - be it natal, composite, progressed, etc...Versatility to the max! Degrees offer us mesmerizing insights and clues, and I genuinely believe that is the future of Astrology! There is no place for cut-and-dry explanations anymore. Perhaps that's why Tarot channels on Youtube have been BLOWING UP for the past few years. Human brains and souls are suckers for a good story!

I've also come to realize that I desperately need your help! I have 59+ drafts on Tumblr and more rotting in my brain. Help. Me. Out. There is so much I could write about that it becomes overwhelming to even begin (not to mention I'm 99% sure I have undiagnosed ADHD hehe). I believe most of it stems from the fact that:

👉🏻 I don't know who I am writing to, a.k.a I don't know much about you!

👉🏻 I am not sure if my posts are helpful or relevant to you at the time I'm posting them;

👉🏻 I just want to connect with you on a more personal level!

What to do, then?!

Well, a few months ago, I did 11 donation readings for some Tumblr folks and followers. It seems like they were helpful or at least interesting for most of them. It also made me feel pretty good! So, why not try it again?

Actually, I want to do similar readings on a regular basis but in a smaller format, and with loyal Tumblr users/followers. I want us to explore different placements and astrological phenomena, together! More polls, games, and stuff like that. I want to take care of my community and feel cared for by it, regardless of its size (hey, 850+ people are kind of a lot for my asocial arse!)

So, what would you say about exploring some progressed chart magic? I just checked out the symbols & gene key of my progressed Sun the other day, and it's a huge reason why I'm writing this post right now! Progressed charts are a great way to track our growth and evolution over time, and they can really put things in perspective for us. It's about acknowledging the season of life we are in and making the most of that energy.

So, what do you say? If you are interested in a progressed Sun DEGREE analysis, read my Masterpost and especially the "Ask Box" section before you pop in!

Write me your birth details in a similar fashion: "Born on 11th of March 1995, at 7:40 am in Berlin, Germany" OR if you know how to check out your Progressed Sun (that would be awesome), write it like this: "Sun in Aquarius at 14 degrees 36'. The minutes are important! :)

Available Slots: 3

Check back to see when the slots have been claimed (for now).

I'm looking forward to connecting with y'all! 🤍

Hello Veronika! How are you doing? I hope you’re great.

I’d like to learn about my progressed sun if the slots are not full yet.

My progress sun degree: Libra 7’32 (natal 10th house)

Thank you for your time. I’m so excited to learn more about degrees, can’t wait for your new posts!

Have a great day ☀️

Hey, Raven! *I really like that name/word, hope you don't mind!* I'm doing fine, thank you. But I'm definitely feeling the Mars/Pluto opposition happening in the sky right now. 💣😅 Thank you for the kind words and for giving me the exact degrees! <3

I am looking at the Symbols for both the 7th and 8th degrees. We round a Sabian after it passes 30 minutes.

Sabian Symbol for 7°♎: "A woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks"

This has been your energy for a while now. Watching over others and oneself. Concerns for safety. Looking after ideas. Responsibility. On a negative note - overprotective and always looking for potential issues. Worrying - again, about your own well-being and that of people around you.

Sabian Symbol for 8°♎: "A blazing fireplace in a deserted home"

Coziness and warmth. A sense of safety. Finding comfort in being alone. A place of refuge. Alternatively - loneliness/isolation. No one is at home.

Gene Key 18 (Judgment->Integrity->Perfection)

"Morally speaking, judgment gets a bad rap in the modern world. We talk about being non-judgemental as though it were one of the highest goals in life. In fact, it is impossible not to judge because judgment is the way in which the human mind thinks. What defines the low frequency of the victim mind is that you identify with what you think — in other words, your judgments define your identity and make you feel more secure. However, if you can make a judgment and at the same time be aware of judging then you are no longer trapped by your own mind, and thus the frequency around that judgment changes."

When you aren't in alignment, you feel JUDGMENT: The need to challenge authority (bonus points since it's in your 10th house of authority figures and the stricter parent). Being attached to your opinions. Being affected by other people's opinions of you. The need to be right. Complaining and feeling like a victim. People misunderstanding you/reacting harshly to what you have to say. Judging yourself. Feelings of inferiority/superiority.

When you are in alignment, you feel INTEGRITY: Understanding your past conditioning - what made you the way you are? Forgiving your parent(s). Developing your own values. Striving toward self-improvement. Accepting imperfection and striving for excellence, instead. Maintaining high standards. Growing up. Being objective - removing the ego attachment to your opinions. Learning to communicate corrections/critique in an impersonal way. Accepting yourself as you are, more and more.

So, all and all, during this transient period (which will end as soon as the Sun moves into 9° 30' ♎), you are called to learn more about yourself, your upbringing, and especially your relationship with one of your parents - the disciplinarian one. This GK could be affecting you at your workplace, and in your relationships with teachers/bosses and co-workers where you could, for example, have some sort of a critique or suggestion to share, but people take it the wrong way. Or you could be the one feeling judged, and wanting to defend yourself.

You might have spent a lot of time in the past worrying about what people think of you (quite normal when you are young), and it's essentially a period of growing up and letting go of unhealthy perfectionism and self-judgments you could've absorbed from your early environment.

"Wherever you see someone living with Integrity, you are seeing someone using the power of judgment in an objective and impersonal way. This is the great Gift of the 18th Gene Key — not to use or take judgment personally, but to learn to judge from your heart. Judging from the heart can never be cruel because true Integrity has only one purpose — to serve the whole in the spirit of truth and compassion."

Your heart is the fireplace from the 8° Sabian - your source of comfort and warmth during this time! It's a stage of healing past hurts, and releasing self-judgment, first. Only a healed person can receive and offer advice/critique to others without filtering it through the lenses of their past pain.

I hope that was helpful!

Hey!!! How are you? I really love your work and how detailed you are!! I want your opinion on my placement Jupiter: at 0 degrees; in Cancer; in 12th house.

Helloo, I'm great, thank you! How are you? ❤

What a lovely Jupiter you've got!

Sabian Symbol for 0-1° ♋: "On a ship, sailors lower an old flag, and raise a new one."

Gene Key 15 (Dullness->Magnetism->Florescence)

Codon Ring of SEEKING 🗺️🧭

"It is this codon in your genome that initiates your evolutionary journey from being unaware of your true nature to your eventual awakening as an expression of Divine form." - Richard Rudd, "The Gene Keys"

When you aren't in alignment, you feel "DULLNESS": A lack of vitality, hope, and optimism in life. A sense of "boredom", but it's deeper than that - more like emptiness/depression. OR, on the other hand, you could try and distract yourself from feeling this way. Being constantly on the move. Jumping from one thing to another. Lack of commitment and sense of rhythm in life.

When you are in alignment, you feel "MAGNETISM": Being in total flow with the Universe. Serendipity (happy "coincidences happening, left and right!) Being at the right place, at the right time. Attracting a lot of luck and prosperity into your life. Not rushing anything, but also not stagnating. The more you slow down, the luckier you become. Stop and smell the roses. Meditation to slow down those brainwaves! Magnetic presence and energy.

In combination with the meaning of Jupiter at the critical 0 degrees, all of this speaks of a fresh start in regard to your spirituality, faith, and direction in life. A turning point. The constant renewal and reinvention of your attitude and philosophy about life. A journey toward spiritual awakening. Continuous change of your long-term goals. You are the master of your ship. Consulting spiritual forces to help you navigate the sea of life. Tuning into your support system behind the "veil". Accessing the help of spirit guides, ancestors, and angels. You are heavily protected, even if you don't realize it, yet! 👼🏻

Jupiter feels great in Cancer - it happily expands your intuitive and psychic abilities! Go where your gut feeling tells you to go and get in touch with your emotions. Cancer is also related to the Moon (our mother/family), and with this entire degree story, it seems like you are on a journey to let go of many family traditions, beliefs, and attitudes that don't align with your own values! But before that, you need to FIND what those are. Of course, this will be an ongoing process - the 0 degree is like a constant loop of going back to the basics and approaching things with a beginner's mindset.

The 12th house is connected to emigration and going abroad. You could possibly find prosperity and fresh perspectives by emigrating or studying abroad! (Jupiter = higher education)

A lot depends on the aspects (does it make any major exact aspects to your personal planets? Is it challenged by the outer planets, etc...) Additionally, the ruler of your Jupiter - the Moon, will tell you more about the nature of the patterns and conditioning you are asked to let go of. 🧼🧹

I hope that was helpful and not too long! I am not sure how to present these analyses in a more concise way. Any ideas? 😅

hello! may i know what's the sabian symbol for venus at 25 degrees in virgo? many thanks in advance

Hey! The Sabian is called "A flag at half-mast in front of a public building."

So, in terms of your relationships, you may want recognition for everything that you've done (or are doing) for your partners. Wanting to be respected. We know that's generally true for Venus in Virgo, and especially for this degree. Loss and mourning. Acknowledging what you feel (especially painful feelings, such as grief) instead of suppressing them. A modest or simple style of dressing yourself (e.g., preferring black/white colors, non-revealing clothes, but that would depend on aspects + the Ascendant). The desire to leave a legacy to society. The desire to be praised for your contributions.

How do I surrender 😭 and how do you know me so much omg ?!?!😳😳

Hey, Sun/Pluto aspects aren't easy to master! To surrender to the flow of life, you first need to accept things as they are and see the divine purpose of what you're going through. Astrology does a great job at that by explaining the "why" behind events/character traits, etc... Spiritual practices can also help raise your consciousness and give you the inner stability to start flowing with changes and accepting everything that comes your way!

Sending you blessings!
