What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.9°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    A careful, exact mind. Spots the flaw, fixes the plan and gets the wording just right. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

    Mercury sextile Neptune (wide at 3.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Steady, strong and very patient. She keeps going long after others stop. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 2.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in fire and earth signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
