Who she is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 4.9°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
