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

Sun in Capricorn
Degree: 10°
Idi Amin 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 Aries*
Degree: 3°
Idi Amin’s emotions hit fast and hard. When he’s happy, he lights up and needs to move, celebrate, or tell everyone around him. When he’s upset, it comes out as fire rather than sadness, and he needs some kind of action to release it. The good news is he doesn’t hold grudges — his feelings burn hot but fade quickly.

Sun Square Moon
Orb: 6.9°
