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

Sun in Pisces
Degree: 11°
Karen Carpenter is an emotional sponge whose moods aren't random, but shaped by whatever energy surrounds her. In the right environment, she radiates unconditional love and selfless warmth that brings everyone together. She has a natural gift for art and creativity, but mundane situations can send her drifting into daydreams, and when something hurts, it can take her longer than most to let it go.
Moon in Leo
Degree: 18°
Passionate and intense, Karen Carpenter wants her emotional life to feel like a movie. She loves recreational activities and uses them as an outlet for what she’s feeling, and she radiates a sense of nobleness toward those she cares about. If she senses someone doesn’t like her, though, it can get in her head, and the key is learning not to give her critics free rent up there.
