What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. The self she showed the world and the self she came home to wanted different things, and she made room for both.
The Sun square the Moon (close at 1.4°)
What she needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.
The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.
Venus square Pluto (close at 2.0°)
How she thought
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.0°)
What drove her
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars opposition Neptune (close at 3.0°)
