What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving.
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.
The Moon sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
How she loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Mars (close at 1.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drives her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. She works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 7.0°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her heart, her drive and her optimism (Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first.
