What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with her feeling understood. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 3.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move.

    For a birth after 2:28 p.m., her Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 5.7°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave her mouth a second later. Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. She does not rush, and she is hard to push off course.

  6. The shape of her chart

    Pluto is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her intensity touches everything else in it.
