Chart shapes

Splash

A splash chart distributes the bodies fairly evenly around the wheel with no large empty arc, so your energy and interests spread across many areas of life at once. In the Jones taxonomy this is the personality of wide interests and universal applicability, at home almost anywhere and curious about everything. The gift is genuine versatility, range, and an ability to relate to many worlds. The cost is scattering, a jack-of-all-trades diffusion that can lack a single deep focus. The work is gathering the broad energies around a few real priorities. At your best you bring a rare breadth and adaptability to whatever you touch.
