What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. She kept rebuilding herself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

What she needed
Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.
For a birth before 4:39 a.m., her Moon was in Sagittarius.
How she loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.
Venus sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. Meaning came to her before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (close at 1.2°)

Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
