What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on her mind. Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (close at 1.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Restless feelings: she feels most at home where things are new.

    The Moon conjunction Uranus (close at 2.9°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.7°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (close at 1.8°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Action guided by imagination: she moves on instinct and feeling, and she gives her all to a vision.

    Mars conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her optimism and her imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
