What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)
What she needed
Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.
For a birth after 8:29 p.m., her Moon was in Taurus.
How she loved
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. What she found beautiful and what she desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.
Venus quincunx Mars (close at 1.7°)
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. Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drove her
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs.
