What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
What she needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around her are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.9°)
How she loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (close at 2.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: she acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.
Mercury quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drives her
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
The Moon trine Mars (close at 2.3°)
The shape of her chart
Mars is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her drive touches everything else in it. In her chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
