What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of her own. She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 4.0°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo or Virgo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 2.2°) · For a birth after 3:48 p.m., her Mercury was in Virgo.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 2.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her heart, her drive and her independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
