What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.5°)
How she loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (close at 1.6°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (wide at 3.3°)
What drives her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Steady, strong and very patient. She keeps going long after others stop. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
