What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully her own person. She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for herself. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her optimism and her imagination (Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, fire and air signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
