What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (close at 1.3°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 5.5°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. She does not rush, and she is hard to push off course. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Mars is the hub of her chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so her drive touches everything else in it.
