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

Sun in Aries
Degree: 21°
David Letterman brings a fiery, go-getter energy to everything he does. A natural leader, he charges ahead with confidence and draws people in with his enthusiasm. Patience isn't his strong suit — he thrives on competition and quick results, and frustration flares when he feels overlooked.
Moon in Capricorn
Degree: 12°
David Letterman tends to lead with his head over his heart, which helps him make clear-eyed decisions but can leave him emotionally detached when others need empathy. His mood is closely tied to whether he feels respected and on track with his goals — when those slip, low moods can creep in. Having a safe emotional outlet is important, because those feelings will surface whether he invites them or not.
