What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (close at 2.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around her feel the same.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. 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 (wide at 4.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to her heart and wants the effort to be seen. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her independence and her intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
