What her chart says about her
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°)
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.
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°)
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.
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.
