What her chart says about her
Who she was
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 came easily and spread: she thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 3.1°)
What she needed
Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame
Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. She put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
