What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. 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 0.8°)
What she needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.
How she loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. A graceful mind: she spoke kindly and well, and she knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.0°)
How she thought
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.3°)
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. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.4°)
The shape of her chart
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
