What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Her confidence came easily and spread: she thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (close at 1.3°)
What she needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: she could put a mood into words, and her words carried feeling.
The Moon sextile Mercury (close at 1.2°)
How she loved
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.
Venus trine Saturn (close at 1.5°)
How she thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.
Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 1.6°)
What drove her
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to her. In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.

The shape of her chart
In her chart, her drive, her imagination and her intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew her attention first. In her chart, air and water signs hold the most planets: ideas and people, and feeling and intuition.
