What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Libra or Virgo, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 1.6°) · For a birth before 6:59 a.m., her Sun was in Virgo.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. 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 0.5°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her heart, her optimism and her imagination (Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
