What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.9°)
What she needed
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Her feelings ran hot and fast, and she protected the people she loved fiercely.
The Moon conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)
How she loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. Romance without limits: she fell for ideals as much as people, and her taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Venus conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.8°)
How she thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace.
What drove her
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and her plans changed at short notice.
Mars quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)
