What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and she spent real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 1.2°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. She picked up what others felt before a word was said, and her compassion reached far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (close at 1.0°) · For a birth before 9:44 a.m., her Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.6°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.

    Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart and her intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew her attention first.
