Your Core Signs shape your core self, while the Inner and Outer Planets shape your personal traits and collective influences.

Sun in Capricorn
Degree: 18°
Amber Benson has a relentless drive to be the best at whatever she does, and she's willing to put in the work to get there. Classy and reserved in public, she doesn't give much away, but for the people who've earned her loyalty, she'll show her heart of gold. Her ambition can tip into tunnel vision, and when she feels unappreciated, her mood can dampen the room.
Moon in Leo*
Degree: 27°
Passionate and intense, Amber Benson wants her emotional life to feel like a movie. She loves recreational activities and uses them as an outlet for what she’s feeling, and she radiates a sense of nobleness toward those she cares about. If she senses someone doesn’t like her, though, it can get in her head, and the key is learning not to give her critics free rent up there.

Amber Benson's thinking has an obsessive, probing quality — once she latches onto something, she won't rest until she's uncovered every layer.
