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. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 8.0°)

  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. Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth before 7:48 a.m., her Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to her. She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (close at 2.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and she keeps checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to her. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
