What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Her restlessness keeps testing her plans, so she changes course more than once to stay true to herself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 1.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay.
How she loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Venus opposition Uranus (close at 1.0°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury opposition Pluto (wide at 6.2°)
What drives her
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. What she finds beautiful and what she desires keep parting ways, and love takes some working out.
Venus quincunx Mars (close at 1.3°)
The shape of her chart
Jupiter is the hub of her chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so her optimism touches everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
