What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Born near a new Moon, so what she wants and what she needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
The Sun conjunction the Moon (wide at 3.8°)
What she needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well.
How she loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. She keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
Venus quincunx Saturn (close at 1.9°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)
What drives her
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)
