What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
What she needs
Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.
For a birth after 9:51 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.
How she loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 3.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything.
What drives her
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
Mars square Pluto (close at 2.6°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her mind, her heart and her imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first.
