What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 2.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Tenderness through and through: she needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 2.4°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (wide at 5.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her feelings and her heart (the Sun, the Moon and Venus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
