What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

    Drawn to beauty, good manners and a fair deal. Works best with a partner and hates a needless fight. Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 1.2°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all.

    For a birth after 3:15 p.m., her Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.

    Venus square Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 3.8°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her identity, her heart, her drive, her independence and her intensity (the Sun, Venus, Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, 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.
