What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart

    Wears her heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.

    For a birth after 2:57 p.m., her Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (close at 1.6°)

  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 2.3°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (wide at 6.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her optimism, her discipline and her independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
