What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves by caring and protecting. Wants a partner who feels like home.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury opposition Mars (close at 1.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her feelings and her heart (the Sun, the Moon and Venus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
