What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 3.5°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth before 4:03 a.m., her Moon was in Leo.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: she could put a mood into words, and her words carried feeling.

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.

  6. The shape of her chart

    Saturn is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her discipline touched everything else in it. In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
