What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.9°)
What she needs
Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit
Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.
The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.3°) · For a birth after 9:17 p.m., her Moon was in Capricorn.
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Jupiter (wide at 5.7°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drives her
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at her best when something needs doing now. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.5°)
The shape of her chart
Neptune is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her imagination touches everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in fire and earth signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
