What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun sextile Pluto (exact at 0.0°)
What she needs
Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.
For a birth before 1:08 a.m., her Moon was in Leo.
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches.
How she thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 3.0°)
What drives her
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
The Sun square Mars (wide at 7.7°)
The shape of her chart
The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touches everything else in it. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
