What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Born near a new Moon, so what she wants and what she needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

    The Sun conjunction the Moon (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 6:25 p.m., her Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond.

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Enthusiasm at full speed: she charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow her only briefly.

    Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.9°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    In her chart, her drive, her optimism and her discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
