What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (close at 1.6°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

    For a birth after 9:29 p.m., her Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. A generous heart: love and good company came to her easily, and she shared both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.8°)

  4. 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. Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: she acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.

    Mercury quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for herself. In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.

    Venus opposition Mars (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her heart, her optimism and her intensity (Venus, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
