Sun in Leo
Degree: 2°
A warm ray of sunshine at his best, John Howard has a big personality and loves bringing people together. He's generous, straightforward, and naturally self-confident, which is why others often look to him to take the lead. When met with opposition, though, his pride can kick in and he may become stubborn or withdrawn, but he rarely holds grudges and bounces back to his playful self quickly.
Moon in Sagittarius*
Degree: 3°
John Howard craves freedom and new experiences above all else, and his emotions reflect that: wild, optimistic, and hard to pin down. His cheerful nature draws people back even after an impulsive outburst, but keeping the same routines or relationships can be a real challenge. His fondest memories are probably of adventures and spontaneous moments, not quiet nights at home.
