What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 5.2°)
What she needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.
How she loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. What she wanted from love and what love gave her kept needing adjustment, and she learned to see people as they were.
Venus quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave her mouth a second later. Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (close at 2.1°)
What drove her
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
Mars square Saturn (close at 2.5°)
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. The weight of her chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
