What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.

    Venus square Pluto (wide at 5.8°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 4.0°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
