What her chart says about her

  1. 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°)

  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°)

  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°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart and her imagination (the Sun, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first.
