What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. She takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

    The Sun conjunction Neptune (wide at 8.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Wears her heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 1.9°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (close at 2.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 8.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
