What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 6.9°)
What she needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)
How she loved
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (wide at 4.5°)
How she thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. She thought fast and spoke faster: her mind liked a contest, and her words had an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 2.6°)
What drove her
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws herself behind big causes and what is right. Enthusiasm at full speed: she charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed her only briefly.
Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.6°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
