What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  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. Steady feelings: she keeps calm under strain, and she loves in ways that last.

    The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (close at 1.3°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. A poet’s mind: she hears what goes unsaid, and her best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
