Diane Ladd’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she was

   ☉Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

   Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

   The Sun conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.0°)

2. What she needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.

   The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.7°)

3. How she loved

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.

   Venus square Mars (wide at 4.0°)

4. How she thought

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Philosopher

   A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.

   Mercury quincunx Uranus (close at 1.5°) · For a birth before 1:06 a.m., her Mercury was in Scorpio.

5. What drove her

   ♂Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

   Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.

   Mars opposition Pluto (close at 3.0°)

6. The shape of her chart

   Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
