What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.8°)
How she loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and she spends time explaining how she gets there.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drives her
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
