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

Sun in Cancer
Degree: 22°
Forest Whitaker has a borderline psychic intuition and a natural ability to make others feel at home. Deeply loyal to family and close friends, he possesses a quiet charm that draws people in, but when his mood shifts, he can retreat inward and become hard to reach. He's tough to manipulate and has a nose for dishonesty, which serves him well when he channels it alongside his creative instincts.
Moon in Leo*
Degree: 24°
Passionate and intense, Forest Whitaker wants his emotional life to feel like a movie. He loves recreational activities and uses them as an outlet for what he’s feeling, and he radiates a sense of nobleness toward those he cares about. If he senses someone doesn’t like him, though, it can get in his head, and the key is learning not to give his critics free rent up there.
