What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.
The Sun opposition Pluto (wide at 8.2°)
What she needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around her. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to herself.
How she loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less.
How she thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drove her
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for herself. Electric: she acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her feelings, her drive and her independence (the Moon, Mars and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
