What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  2. 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. Steady feelings: she keeps calm under strain, and she loves in ways that last.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  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. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Controlled force: she works with patience and grit, and she finishes what she starts.

    Mars conjunction Saturn (close at 2.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Neptune is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her imagination touches everything else in it. In her chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
