What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
What she needs
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. She thinks with her feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and her words give away what she feels.
The Moon conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°)
How she loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.
Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 1.4°)
What drives her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Steady, strong and very patient. She keeps going long after others stop. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars opposition Neptune (close at 2.8°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her feelings, her mind and her drive (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Mars) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
The sky the day she was born
The Moon

The day
