What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Her restlessness kept testing her plans, so she changed course more than once to stay true to herself.
The Sun quincunx Uranus (close at 1.7°)
What she needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms.
How she loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to her. Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus opposition Uranus (wide at 6.2°)
How she thought
Mercury in Leo or Cancer, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Serious thoughts: she said less than she knew, and what she said held up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 2.6°) · For a birth before 8:26 a.m., her Mercury was in Cancer.
What drove her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of her chart
