What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)
What she needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around her. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to herself.
How she loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Venus sextile Uranus (wide at 3.9°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo or Cancer, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 2.3°) · For a birth before 11:27 a.m., her Mercury was in Cancer.
What drove her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars trine Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
The shape of her chart
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
Helen Keller was born five days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 67% lit, in Pisces. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Sunday, six days after the June solstice.
