What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
What she needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
How she loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. What she wanted from love and what love gave her kept needing adjustment, and she learned to see people as they were.
Venus quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.7°)
What drove her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.7°)
The shape of her chart
The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touched everything else in it. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
