What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun square Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around her are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. Her feelings run hot and fast, and she protects the people she loves fiercely.

    The Moon conjunction Mars (close at 2.1°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to her. Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.

    Venus trine Saturn (wide at 3.6°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (wide at 3.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Most of her planets are in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
