What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
What she needed
Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker
Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.
For a birth after 12:11 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.
How she loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. A deep, private heart: she drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (close at 2.0°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. Serious thoughts: she said less than she knew, and what she said held up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (wide at 5.7°)
What drove her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.6°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her mind, her heart and her intensity (Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
