What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun opposition Saturn (close at 1.7°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 8:04 p.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

    Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her optimism, her discipline and her independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
