What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 5.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.4°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

    Mercury square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her heart, her drive and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
