What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Born original: her identity and her need for freedom are the same thing, and she surprises people, herself included.

    The Sun conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. She loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes her a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.5°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus square Neptune (wide at 6.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (wide at 3.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
