What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

    For a birth after 12:42 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.0°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  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. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 3.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Mercury is the hub of her chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so her mind touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
