What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Her moods change without warning, and she wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How she loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals.
How she thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drives her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
Mars square Saturn (close at 2.7°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
