A bucket is really a misnomer.  It should be called a funnel or hose or
shape charge or something like that.  the "bucket" handle is the focus for
the charts energy so really everything is spilling out of the bucket and
focused through the handle.  My bucket handle is jupiter in aries in the
third.
