What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully her own person. She keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
Venus quincunx Saturn (close at 1.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mercury trine Mars (close at 1.0°)
What drives her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Enthusiasm at full speed: she charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow her only briefly.
Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.5°)
The shape of her chart
