What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

    The Sun square Mars (close at 1.3°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

    For a birth after 7:13 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves big, loyally and warmly. Wants to adore and be adored. A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.2°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  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. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 1.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her discipline, her independence and her imagination (Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
