Martina Navratilova’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she is

   ☉Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

   Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. She takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

   The Sun conjunction Neptune (wide at 4.9°)

2. What she needs

   ☽Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

   Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.

   The Moon opposition Mercury (almost exact at 0.8°)

3. How she loves

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

   Venus opposition Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)

4. How she thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

   Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.2°)

5. What drives her

   ♂Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

   Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

   Mars opposition Jupiter (wide at 7.7°)

6. The shape of her chart

   In her chart, her identity, her mind and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
