What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 5.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her heart and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
