What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

    The Sun square Saturn (close at 2.4°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.

    For a birth after 3:35 p.m., her Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Romance without limits: she fell for ideals as much as people, and her taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.

    Venus conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.

    Mercury quincunx Uranus (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive, her optimism and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
