I have Chiron in H9--as the handle to my bucket chart (H11-H4). It is also opposite my Venus and Uranus, square my Mars, sextile my Jupiter and trine my Saturn.

Anyone know what it means when Chiron is the handle? I'm thinking this is significant...

His sun is conjunct Uranus which nicely matches Chiron Aquarius; he HAS had Uranian problems (too much eccentricity) but he also has Uranian strength: he's brilliant in many ways, and helps people by being so handy/resourceful/able to fix almost anything under the sun.

The way you describe your chart though...are you sure it's a bucket? Having the handle in the 9H and another planet in the 11H seems too close for a bucket.

My husband has this in Aquarius, conjunct my sun-moon midpoint. I don't know how to describe it...he is probably more sensitive because of it, especially when it comes to issues of weirdness and acceptance.

How they respond to him, as one who helps tremendously but is a strange kinda guy...that is an important theme in his life. Social issues are a key balance point for him.

Interesting, I also have Sun conjunct Uranus (H3)...oddly, sometimes I do feel out of place and eccentric--but one one looking at me would ever call me eccentric and I am a social butterfly--so have never really understood my Sun/Uranus.

It seems like a bowl rather than a bucket.

The Handle Planet is the most important planet of the Bucket Pattern, focusing the energy of the nine Bowl planets and acting as their point of release, in a manner described by the sign and in the life arena described by the house of the Handle Planet. In the Bucket, the "cutting" planet (the clockwise planet in the rim opposition) is of secondary importance. With the Bucket Pattern one tends to direct his or her efforts towards a single purpose, and to emphasize self-projection.

If your Handle Planet is directly above the center of your Bowl, you are highly directed and can go to great lengths to achieve your goals. If a core opposition—an opposition from a planet in the center of the Bowl to the Handle planet—is also present, you have a great, single-minded ambition as well.

The Bucket is the second most frequently occurring of all the planetary patterns, and indicates an effective capacity for some special activity. Celebrities with Bucket Patterns are/were Mary Astor, James Blish, Carroll Burnett, Glen Campbell, Johnny Carson, Prince Charles, Ted Danson, Betty Davis, Mimi Farina, Joseph Fiennes, Bobbie Fischer, Peggy Fleming, Judy Garland, George Gershwin, John Glenn, Jean Harlow, Woody Herman, Jeremy Irons, Lyndon B.
