What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.

    The Sun sextile the Moon (close at 1.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave her mouth a second later. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
