What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 11:43 a.m., her Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 1.3°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (wide at 3.6°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    The weight of her chart sits in earth and water signs: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
