What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (wide at 3.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. Her moods change without warning, and she wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 6:56 p.m., her Moon was in Aries.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer or Gemini, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. She thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 3.0°) · For a birth after 12:58 p.m., her Mercury was in Gemini.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

    Mars square Jupiter (close at 2.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
