What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 6.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.7°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 3.0°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 3.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (wide at 3.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart, her optimism and her independence (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
