Sun in Capricorn
Degree: 29°
Fareed Zakaria 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.
