What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Libra, the Diplomat
Gracious, sociable and keen on fairness. Has a gift for making people feel at ease with each other. Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 3.6°)
What she needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Intense, private feelings: she keeps an inner life few people see, and she guards it well.
The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 2.1°)
How she loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.
Venus conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.9°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (close at 2.1°)
What drives her
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Adventurous and principled. Throws herself behind big causes and what is right. Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
Mars square Saturn (close at 1.3°)
The shape of her chart
