What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At her best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.

    The Moon opposition Mars (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 8:49 a.m., her Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (wide at 3.4°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.7°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
