What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. She keeps fitting her ambitions to her purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (wide at 3.8°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.9°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and she keeps checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. She does not rush, and she is hard to push off course. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 2.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
