What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth after 3:37 p.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. Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. She worked for ideals: her drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew her attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
