What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Modest about a great deal of skill. Cares through careful, useful help, and has a wit that catches people off guard. 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 (close at 2.2°)
What she needs
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.5°) · For a birth after 7:34 p.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.
How she loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
Venus conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (close at 1.9°)
What drives her
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
