What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart

    Wears her heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.

    For a birth after 6:47 p.m., her Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Controlled force: she works with patience and grit, and she finishes what she starts.
