What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.
For a birth after 7:07 p.m., her Moon was in Leo.
How she loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to her. Serious about love: she gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 2.0°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (close at 2.2°)
What drives her
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to her. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Electric: she acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 5.3°)
The shape of her chart
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
