Sun in Pisces
Degree: 9°
Colum McCann is an emotional sponge whose moods aren't random, but shaped by whatever energy surrounds him. In the right environment, he radiates unconditional love and selfless warmth that brings everyone together. He has a natural gift for art and creativity, but mundane situations can send him drifting into daydreams, and when something hurts, it can take him longer than most to let it go.
Moon in Aquarius
Degree: 6°
Colum McCann 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.
