What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.4°)
What she needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)
How she loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won her heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (exact at 0.0°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)
What drove her
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 7.1°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
