What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Purpose and drive in one place: she was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 1.2°)
What she needed
Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth
Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.8°) · For a birth before 9:31 a.m., her Moon was in Aries.
How she loved
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things. She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus opposition Jupiter (wide at 6.7°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (wide at 4.2°)
What drove her
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.
Mars conjunction Pluto (close at 1.0°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her drive and her intensity (the Sun, Mars and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
