What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 6.2°)
What she needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.
The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.3°)
How she loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (close at 1.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Libra, the Mediator
Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace.

Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm.
