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°
Irshad Manji has a relentless drive to be the best at whatever she does, and she's willing to put in the work to get there. Classy and reserved in public, she doesn't give much away, but for the people who've earned her loyalty, she'll show her heart of gold. Her ambition can tip into tunnel vision, and when she feels unappreciated, her mood can dampen the room.
Moon in Capricorn*
Degree: 26°
Irshad Manji tends to lead with her head over her heart, which helps her make clear-eyed decisions but can leave her emotionally detached when others need empathy. Her mood is closely tied to whether she feels respected and on track with her goals — when those slip, low moods can creep in. Having a safe emotional outlet is important, because those feelings will surface whether she invites them or not.

Orb: 1.9°

Moon Square North Node

Venus Square Jupiter
Orb: 6.4°
