What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.1°)
What she needed
Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. She loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took her a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.3°) · For a birth before 8:17 a.m., her Moon was in Libra.
How she loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home. She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)
How she thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drove her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Purpose and drive in one place: she was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 2.1°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew her attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
The sky the day she was born
