What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. She kept redrawing the line between the life she had and the life she imagined.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
What she needed
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.
The Moon opposition Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)
How she loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took her time.
Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)
How she thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 4.5°)
What drove her
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Her drive and her imagination spoke different languages: she went after something before she could say what it was.
Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.2°)
