What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (close at 1.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. Restless feelings: she feels most at home where things are new.

    The Moon conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.

    Mars quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
