What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (close at 1.8°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.
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 feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (wide at 4.4°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
What drives her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.
Mercury square Mars (close at 2.4°)
