What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 3.5°)
What she needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. Her feelings ran large: she wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
How she loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (wide at 4.1°)
How she thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on her mind, and gets to the idea first. She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (close at 1.9°)
What drove her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words.

In her chart, her identity, her feelings and her mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, fire and water signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm, and feeling and intuition.
