What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.8°)
What she needed
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. Self-contained: she kept her feelings in order, and she gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
The Moon conjunction Saturn (close at 1.9°) · For a birth after 11:08 p.m., her Moon was in Pisces.
How she loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Her taste and her appetite for more needed adjusting: she kept learning what was enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
How she thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave her mouth a second later. She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 5.3°)
What drove her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
Mars square Pluto (wide at 5.0°)
