What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. She kept fitting her ambitions to her purpose, and some big plans had to wait.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
What she needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Her feelings ran large: she wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Moon opposition Jupiter (close at 1.9°)
How she loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in her, and people noticed.
Venus conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 3.7°)
What drove her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (wide at 4.6°)
The shape of her chart
Uranus is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her independence touched everything else in it. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
