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. Aim and action ran at different speeds, and she spent real effort keeping them in step.
The Sun quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)
What she needed
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. Good-hearted and generous: she felt looked after by life, and she passed that on.
The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
How she loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.

How she thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and she kept checking one against the other.
