What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with her feeling understood. Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.

    Venus quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus opposition Mars (close at 2.4°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart and her discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.
