What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.

    The Sun opposition the Moon (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 2.0°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on her mind, and gets to the idea first. Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

    Mercury opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.4°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for herself. She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Most of her planets are in fire and water signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and feeling and intuition.
