What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

    The Moon sextile Uranus (exact at 0.0°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and she weighs words before letting them go.

    Mercury quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 2.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart and her drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
