What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Leo, the Bright One
Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (close at 1.5°)
What she needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.
How she loves
Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic
Modest in love and devoted to the bone. Proves feelings through actions rather than speeches. A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Venus sextile Neptune (wide at 3.3°)

Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.

Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
