What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun square Uranus (wide at 6.4°)
What she needed
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
How she loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. She kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Venus quincunx Saturn (close at 1.3°)
How she thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. What she knew and what she said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with her.
Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drove her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Mars square Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
The shape of her chart
Mercury is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her mind touched everything else in it.
