What her chart says about her
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 keeps rebuilding herself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 3.0°)
What she needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.5°)
How she loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.7°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.2°)
What drives her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Steady, strong and very patient. She keeps going long after others stop. Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.
Mars trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her mind, her heart, her drive and her discipline (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
