Courtney Love’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she is

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

   The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

2. 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.

3. How she loves

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

   Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 4.7°)

4. How she thinks

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers.

5. What drives her

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Her drive and her imagination speak different languages: she goes after something before she can say what it is.

   Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

6. The shape of her chart

   Pluto is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her intensity touches everything else in it. In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
