What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun opposition Neptune (close at 2.6°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (close at 1.1°) · For a birth before 7:11 a.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.5°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to her. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her drive and her discipline (Mercury, Mars and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
