What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Purpose and drive in one place: she was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)
What she needed
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth before 7:22 a.m., her Moon was in Virgo.
How she loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real.
How she thought
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
What drove her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Action guided by imagination: she moved on instinct and feeling, and she gave her all to a vision.
Mars conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.3°)
