What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on her mind.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around her. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to herself. Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.3°) · For a birth before 1:52 a.m., her Venus was in Sagittarius.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and she keeps checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (wide at 3.7°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her drive and her intensity (Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
