What the chart says

In astrology, a Cancer Sun reads as protective and loyal, a Scorpio Moon as intense and private: the same element, so the two run smoothly, the same pair Nelson Mandela carries. By the book, Venus in Cancer + Mercury in Leo + Jupiter in Scorpio reads as someone who cares by looking after, talks like it's a stage and grows through hard truths. Elements run water 70%, fire 16%, earth 9%, air 5%, fixed first at 42%, the nearest mix to Lina Kostenko.
