What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully her own person. A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury square Uranus (wide at 3.7°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. She does not rush, and she is hard to push off course. Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.

    Mars quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
