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

Sun in Cancer
Degree: 16°
Karen Shakhnazarov has a borderline psychic intuition and a natural ability to make others feel at home. Deeply loyal to family and close friends, he possesses a quiet charm that draws people in, but when his mood shifts, he can retreat inward and become hard to reach. He's tough to manipulate and has a nose for dishonesty, which serves him well when he channels it alongside his creative instincts.
Moon in Capricorn*
Degree: 28°
Karen Shakhnazarov 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.
