What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo or Virgo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 2:16 p.m., her Sun was in Virgo.

  2. What she needs

    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. She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.

    The Moon sextile Neptune (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth before 11:23 a.m., her Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (close at 2.4°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Neptune is the hub of her chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so her imagination touches everything else in it. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
