What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (close at 2.3°) · For a birth before 1:00 a.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old 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 Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

  6. The shape of her chart

    Saturn is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her discipline touches everything else in it. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
