What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.

    The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of her own. Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°) · For a birth before 4:26 a.m., her Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (close at 1.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at her own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
