What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on her mind. She kept rebuilding herself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 2.4°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

    For a birth after 7:25 p.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Loyal Partner

    Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.4°) · For a birth before 1:06 a.m., her Venus was in Sagittarius.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Controlled force: she worked with patience and grit, and she finished what she started.

    Mars conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)

  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 touched everything else in it. In her chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
