What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun square Saturn (wide at 5.8°)
What she needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them. What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.7°)
How she loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mercury trine Mars (close at 2.8°)
What drives her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Moon opposition Mars (close at 1.3°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
