What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

    The Moon sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus opposition Uranus (close at 1.8°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
