What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. She keeps rebuilding herself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon opposition Saturn (close at 2.2°) · For a birth after 12:02 p.m., her Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on her mind, and gets to the idea first. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Steady, strong and very patient. She keeps going long after others stop. She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

  6. The shape of her chart

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