What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and she spent real effort keeping them in step.

    The Sun quincunx Mars (wide at 4.3°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Light on her feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon opposition Mars (close at 2.0°) · For a birth after 8:37 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. She kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

    Venus quincunx Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at her own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: she acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.

    Mercury quincunx Mars (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her heart and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
