What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

    Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Her purpose and her feelings were on the same side: the life she chose and the comfort she needed went together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.

    For a birth after 3:01 p.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to her. She loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. She loved ideas, the bigger the better, and she could talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 1.9°) · For a birth before 10:05 a.m., her Mars was in Sagittarius.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her optimism and her independence (Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
