What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.

    The Moon sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 7:52 p.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully her own person. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (close at 1.8°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. She works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 3.7°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
