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

Sun in Sagittarius
Degree: 5°
Adventurous and down for anything, Joe Dante lives for new experiences and isn't afraid to speak his mind, even when the timing isn't ideal. He has a brash exterior but a gentle heart, with a natural pull toward philosophy and big-picture thinking. Routine bores him quickly, and if restlessness builds up, it can come out in a blunt, unfiltered way, but his boundless optimism inspires everyone around him.
Moon in Capricorn*
Degree: 29°
Joe Dante 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.
