Mary Wollstonecraft’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she was

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.

   The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 6.5°)

2. What she needed

   ☽Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

   Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. Her feelings and her imagination pulled in different directions: she lived between what was real and what she longed for.

   The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.0°)

3. How she loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (wide at 3.1°)

4. How she thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at her own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.

   Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.1°)

5. What drove her

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.

   Mars square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)

6. The shape of her chart

   In her chart, her identity, her feelings and her mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
