What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. 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 (exact at 0.0°)
What she needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)
How she loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 3.6°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury opposition Pluto (close at 1.2°)
What drives her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to her, and wants to be recognised for it. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.9°)
The shape of her chart
Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
