What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun square Neptune (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Wears her heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth before 3:31 a.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Virgo or Leo, the Quiet Romantic

    Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.

    Venus trine Uranus (close at 2.8°) · For a birth before 8:15 a.m., her Venus was in Leo.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Mars is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her drive touches everything else in it. In her chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
