What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth after 10:29 p.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (wide at 3.5°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 3.0°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
