What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.6°)
What she needed
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Intense, private feelings: she kept an inner life few people saw, and she guarded it well.
The Moon conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 3:14 p.m., her Moon was in Leo.
How she loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully her own person. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.7°)
How she thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drove her
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Mercury square Mars (close at 1.3°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
