What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)
How she loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave her mouth a second later. Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
Mercury square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drives her
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (wide at 3.4°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her feelings and her mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, fire and air signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
