A Legacy of Marc Edmund Jones: Planetary Patterns (aka Temperament Types) with David Perloff

During his lifetime, Marc Edmund Jones was one of the most influential astrologers of the 20th century. Today, he is perhaps best known for the Sabian Symbols. One of the often-overlooked techniques Dr. Jones developed is Planetary Patterns (aka ‘The Temperament Type’) – determined by how the planets are arranged around the wheel. We will look at the seven planetary patterns – Bundle, Bowl, Bucket, Locomotive, Splash, See-Saw and Splay – and see how they can be a powerful tool in chart interpretation. Each of the patterns will be illustrated by natal charts of well-known people.
