What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.

    The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (wide at 4.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to her. Aim and action run at different speeds, and she spends real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 1.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touches everything else in it. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
