What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.9°)
What she needed
Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker
Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.
For a birth before 3:03 a.m., her Moon was in Taurus.
How she loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
How she thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A quick, direct mind: she made decisions fast and said what she meant.
Mercury trine Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)
What drove her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to her heart and wants the effort to be seen. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (close at 2.4°)
The shape of her chart
The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touched everything else in it. Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
