What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    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.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around her are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Serious about love: she gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

    Venus conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 1.7°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Mars is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her drive touches everything else in it.
