What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. 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 1.7°)
What she needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (close at 2.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury square Pluto (wide at 4.0°)
What drives her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.6°)
