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

Sun in Capricorn
Degree: 15°
Anthony Minghella has a relentless drive to be the best at whatever he does, and he's willing to put in the work to get there. Classy and reserved in public, he doesn't give much away, but for the people who've earned his loyalty, he'll show his heart of gold. His ambition can tip into tunnel vision, and when he feels unappreciated, his mood can dampen the room.
Moon in Aquarius*
Degree: 3°
Anthony Minghella approaches emotions with detachment and dislikes messy emotional displays. He’d rather channel his compassion toward big-picture humanitarian ideals than personal drama. Groups and social causes fire him up more than individual conflicts, and if he gets heated it’s usually over a principle, not a personal slight. His own emotional needs can get neglected while he’s busy fighting for everyone else’s.
