What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon opposition Mars (close at 1.1°) · For a birth before 3:27 a.m., her Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus square Neptune (close at 2.9°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (wide at 4.3°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
