What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Aquarius or Pisces, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 2.2°) · For a birth after 11:51 p.m., her Sun was in Pisces.

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. A romantic with an artist’s eye: she saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.

  6. The shape of her chart

    Jupiter is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her optimism touched everything else in it. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
