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. Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (wide at 4.5°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Wears her heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.6°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. She loves ideas, the bigger the better, and she can talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to her, and wants to be recognised for it. Her feelings run hot and fast, and she protects the people she loves fiercely.

    The Moon conjunction Mars (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first.
