What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 6.9°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around her. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to herself. Tenderness through and through: she needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 11:04 a.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 4.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (wide at 4.8°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way.

  6. The shape of her chart

    Pluto is the hub of her chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so her intensity touches everything else in it. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
