What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.

    For a birth before 6:55 a.m., her Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
