What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
What she needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.
How she loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Venus opposition Uranus (wide at 3.7°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury sextile Neptune (close at 1.4°)
What drives her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Steady, strong and very patient. She keeps going long after others stop. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 4.8°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) 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.
