What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon opposition Saturn (wide at 3.3°) · For a birth before 10:35 a.m., her Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

    Venus opposition Uranus (wide at 3.6°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one.

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Electric: she acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart, her optimism and her imagination (the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
