What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At her best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.

    The Sun square Mars (wide at 3.7°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. She put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (wide at 3.4°)

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.6°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks slowly and solidly. A mind, once made up, stays made up. Meaning came to her before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.

    Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (wide at 3.1°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
