What her chart says about her

  1. Who she was

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.8°)

  2. What she needed

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: she could put a mood into words, and her words carried feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.4°)

  3. How she loved

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.

    Venus square Saturn (wide at 5.8°)

  4. How she thought

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

  5. What drove her

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and her plans changed at short notice.

    Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
