What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and she kept renegotiating the terms of her relationships.

    Venus quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 2.2°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Action guided by imagination: she moved on instinct and feeling, and she gave her all to a vision.

    Mars conjunction Neptune (close at 2.0°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her imagination and her intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
