What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.

    For a birth before 1:50 a.m., her Moon was in Aries.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.3°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to her. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
