What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with her feeling understood. The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun opposition Neptune (wide at 8.8°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. She put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness.

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 3.2°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars opposition Neptune (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in air and water signs: ideas and people, and feeling and intuition.
