What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. 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 (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.

    For a birth after 8:48 p.m., her Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 3.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
