What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her.
What she needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 5.8°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Leo or Virgo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 7.1°) · For a birth after 12:24 p.m., her Mercury was in Virgo.
What drives her
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and she learns timing the hard way.
Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 1.4°)
The shape of her chart
Saturn is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her discipline touches everything else in it. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
