What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. The self she showed the world and the self she came home to wanted different things, and she made room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (almost exact at 0.7°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (close at 2.0°) · For a birth after 6:31 p.m., her Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

    Venus opposition Jupiter (wide at 6.2°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (wide at 3.7°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to her. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her drive and her intensity (the Sun, Mars and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
