What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)
What she needed
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Her feelings ran hot and fast, and she protected the people she loved fiercely.
The Moon conjunction Mars (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 9:08 p.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.
How she loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. A romantic with an artist’s eye: she saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
How she thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. She thought with her feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and her words gave away what she felt.
The Moon conjunction Mercury (wide at 4.3°)
What drove her
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and her plans changed at short notice.
Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.2°)
The shape of her chart
Neptune is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her imagination touched everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
