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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 8.5°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (exact at 0.0°) · For a birth after 2:11 p.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Romance without limits: she falls for ideals as much as people, and her taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.

    Venus conjunction Neptune (close at 1.6°)

  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 Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her heart, her independence and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus 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.
