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. She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
What she needed
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of her own. What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.
The Moon opposition Venus (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 12:50 p.m., her Moon was in Pisces.
How she loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.
Venus sextile Pluto (close at 2.5°)
How she thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and she weighed words before letting them go.
Mercury quincunx Saturn (close at 2.2°)
What drove her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
Mars square Pluto (close at 1.9°)
The shape of her chart
