What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. She keeps fitting her ambitions to her purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

    Mercury sextile Pluto (close at 1.5°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Mars is the hub of her chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so her drive touches everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
