What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At her best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. She keeps redrawing the line between the life she has and the life she imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 3.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 2.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs.

  6. The shape of her chart

    The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touches everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
