What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. 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 5.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.

    For a birth after 4:53 p.m., her Moon was in Leo.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. She thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart and her independence (Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
