What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks.
What she needs
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Light on her feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
How she loves
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.
Venus quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.3°)
What drives her
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.
