What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (close at 1.7°)
What she needs
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all.
For a birth after 2:32 p.m., her Moon was in Sagittarius.
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (wide at 3.4°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drives her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. She does not rush, and she is hard to push off course. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.0°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
