What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
The Sun opposition the Moon (close at 1.8°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Romance without limits: she falls for ideals as much as people, and her taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Venus conjunction Neptune (close at 2.0°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

What drives her
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.0°)
