What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
The Sun square Mars (close at 2.6°)
What she needed
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Her feelings ran large: she wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
