What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 6.8°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (wide at 4.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A poet’s mind: she hears what goes unsaid, and her best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (close at 3.0°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart and her imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in earth and water signs: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
