What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun square Saturn (close at 2.9°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

    Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her discipline and her intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
