What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. She kept rebuilding herself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

    For a birth after 12:47 p.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

    Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 2.4°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.

    Mars opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her heart, her drive and her independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
