What her chart says about her
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°)
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.
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.
Venus sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
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°)
What drives her
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts.
