What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.7°)
What she needed
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)
How she loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.
Venus sextile Pluto (close at 1.9°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (close at 1.7°)
What drove her
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
The Sun square Mars (wide at 5.4°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind, her optimism and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
