What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. She took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.

    The Sun conjunction Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

    For a birth before 1:29 a.m., her Moon was in Leo.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.

    Venus square Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touched everything else in it. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
