What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Born near a new Moon, so what she wanted and what she needed moved as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

    The Sun conjunction the Moon (wide at 3.8°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year. Steady feelings: she kept calm under strain, and she loved in ways that lasted.

    The Moon sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 10:41 p.m., her Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Electric: she acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Uranus is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her independence touched everything else in it. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
