What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Born near a new Moon, so what she wants and what she needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

    The Sun conjunction the Moon (close at 2.5°) · For a birth after 9:24 p.m., her Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.

    Venus square Saturn (close at 2.3°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (close at 1.8°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.

    Mars square Saturn (close at 2.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

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