What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. She keeps rebuilding herself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 2.6°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. 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°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

    Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 2.4°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touches everything else in it. In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
