What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. 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 opposition Neptune (close at 1.8°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

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

    For a birth before 2:16 a.m., her Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini or Cancer, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 8:16 p.m., her Venus was in Cancer.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. She works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
