What her chart says about her
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. Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (close at 1.5°)
What she needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.7°)
How she loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mercury trine Mars (wide at 3.4°)
What drives her
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair.
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her drive, her discipline and her intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
