What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.

    For a birth before 9:14 a.m., her Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 5.3°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Words with charm in them: she had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to her.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 5.3°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
