What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 1.3°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.

    For a birth after 9:29 p.m., her Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. 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. Her taste and her appetite for more need adjusting: she keeps learning what is enough.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on her mind, and gets to the idea first. Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

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