What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Light on her feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. Her moods changed without warning, and she wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon opposition Uranus (wide at 3.1°) · For a birth after 5:19 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 2.2°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (wide at 3.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
