What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. She kept fitting her ambitions to her purpose, and some big plans had to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 3.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around her feel the same. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 6:05 a.m., her Moon was in Aries.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (wide at 5.8°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. 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 (wide at 8.9°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and she learned timing the hard way.

    Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 1.7°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
