What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.9°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. Tenderness through and through: she needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.8°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at her own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 2.3°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. She works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
