What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 5.5°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around her feel the same. Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 10:05 p.m., her Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and her plans change at short notice.

    Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her drive and her discipline (the Sun, Mars and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
