What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 3.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.6°)

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (wide at 5.5°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one.

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her feelings, her optimism and her imagination (the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
