What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 4.9°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars.

    For a birth before 5:58 a.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

    Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Romance without limits: she fell for ideals as much as people, and her taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.

    Venus conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. She thought fast and spoke faster: her mind liked a contest, and her words had an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
