What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.5°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

    For a birth after 1:00 p.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (wide at 3.6°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 2.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
