What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: she moved forward a step, then checked it.

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around her are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon opposition Mars (close at 1.0°) · For a birth before 4:03 a.m., her Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and she weighed words before letting them go.

    Mercury quincunx Saturn (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at her best when something needs doing now. Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her heart, her imagination and her intensity (Venus, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
