What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 4.3°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.

    The Moon sextile Mars (close at 1.0°)

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Tenderness through and through: she needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.

    The Moon conjunction Venus (wide at 3.1°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (close at 1.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her feelings, her heart, her discipline and her intensity (the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
