What her chart says about her
Who she is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: she moves forward a step, then checks it.
The Sun quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)
What she needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around her. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to herself. Her feelings run large: she wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon square Jupiter (close at 1.2°)
How she loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 3.4°)
How she thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything.
What drives her
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (wide at 3.9°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
