What her chart says about her

  1. 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. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around her feel the same.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.8°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (wide at 5.7°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart, her optimism, her independence and her intensity (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
