What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 2.1°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Intense, private feelings: she kept an inner life few people saw, and she guarded it well.

    The Moon conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

    Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her feelings, her optimism and her intensity (the Moon, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first.
