What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus square Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 2.7°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
