What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with her feeling understood. She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
What she needs
Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. She loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes her a long time.
The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 2.4°) · For a birth after 5:30 p.m., her Moon was in Aries.
How she loves

How she thinks
Mercury in Pisces or Aquarius, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. What she knows and what she says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with her.
