What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At her best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 7.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.
How she loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on her mind, and gets to the idea first. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drives her
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.0°)
The shape of her chart
Pluto is the hub of her chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so her intensity touches everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
