What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Her confidence came easily and spread: she thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. What she knew and what she said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with her.

    Mercury quincunx Pluto (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart and her drive (the Sun, Venus and Mars) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
