What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Intensity at the centre: she wants the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remakes herself more than once to reach it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)
What she needs
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (exact at 0.0°)
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. A deep, private heart: she draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Venus conjunction Pluto (wide at 7.0°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. She thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 2.0°)
What drives her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.3°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her heart, her drive and her intensity (the Sun, Venus, Mars and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
