What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (wide at 6.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

    The Moon sextile Venus (exact at 0.0°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. She thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and she remembers everything.

    Mercury conjunction Pluto (wide at 5.9°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to her heart and wants the effort to be seen. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind, her optimism, her discipline and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first. Most of her planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
