What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 7.0°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

    For a birth after 10:14 p.m., her Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.

    Venus square Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on her mind, and gets to the idea first. She loved ideas, the bigger the better, and she could talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.1°)

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for herself. Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.

    Mars trine Pluto (close at 2.7°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her mind, her heart, her optimism and her independence (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
