Sun in Capricorn
Degree: 19°
Brian Cowen 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 Gemini
Degree: 10°
Communication is at the heart of Brian Cowen’s emotional world, and he’s happiest when surrounded by chatter, ideas, and new information. His moods can shift based on his latest conversation, and he’s more drawn to someone’s words than their appearance. He can get irritable over small things, but a single good exchange is enough to bring him right back.

Orb: 1°
Brian Cowen's drive and ambition can sometimes work against his soul's direction, pushing him toward impulsive action or battles that don't serve his growth. Learning to channel his energy toward his actual purpose — rather than every fight — is a lifelong lesson that makes him formidable.
Moon Opposition Venus
Orb: 1.2°
