What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Taurus, the Gardener
Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
What she needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (wide at 3.3°)
How she loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (wide at 4.0°)
How she thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. Words with charm in them: she had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to her.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 7.1°)
What drove her
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Force and restraint kept trading places, and she learned when to let go.
Mars quincunx Pluto (exact at 0.0°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her optimism, her discipline and her independence (the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
