Mysterious and intensely driven, Minnie Riperton doesn't shy away from going after what she wants. Win her trust and she's one of the most loyal friends around — break it and you may never get a second chance. She follows her own intuition and has bold ambitions, but jealousy and a need for control can surface when things don't go her way.

Minnie Riperton’s emotions are tied to work, routine, and the smaller details of life. She finds security in having a balanced schedule and a job she cares about, and she shows affection through practical gestures rather than grand declarations.

Sun Square Pluto
Orb: 0.5°

Sun Square Saturn
Orb: 6.6°
