What her chart says about her
Who she is
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. Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine Neptune (close at 2.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. 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 0.7°)
How she loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.8°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 3.7°)
What drives her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to her heart and wants the effort to be seen. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
