What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around her feel the same. She thinks with her feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and her words give away what she feels.

    The Moon conjunction Mercury (close at 2.9°) · For a birth before 8:05 a.m., her Moon was in Aries.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (exact at 0.0°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at her own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 4.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 1.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Saturn is the hub of her chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so her discipline touches everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
