What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 3.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (close at 2.9°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Controlled force: she works with patience and grit, and she finishes what she starts.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her optimism and her discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
