What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to her, and she treats her own life as work to be done well.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

    For a birth after 9:13 p.m., her Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. What she wants from love and what love gives her keep needing adjustment, and she learns to see people as they are.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini or Taurus, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
