What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.8°)
What she needs
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it.
How she loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mercury sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)
What drives her
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for herself. Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.4°)
