What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and she spent real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 2.1°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around her feel the same. Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon opposition Saturn (wide at 3.5°) · For a birth before 4:39 a.m., her Moon was in Aries.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 4.8°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars opposition Neptune (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Uranus is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her independence touched everything else in it.
