What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 7.8°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

    For a birth after 2:47 p.m., her Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (close at 2.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (wide at 3.8°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Concentrated force: when she wants something, she goes after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her drive, her independence and her intensity (Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
