What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (wide at 3.5°)
What she needs
Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.
For a birth after 2:17 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.
How she loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.7°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury trine Jupiter (wide at 6.1°)
What drives her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
The shape of her chart
Jupiter is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her optimism touches everything else in it.
The sky the day she was born
