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

Sun in Scorpio
Degree: 24°
Mysterious and intensely driven, Maggie Gyllenhaal doesn't shy away from going after what she wants. Win her trust and she's one of the most loyal friends around — break it and you may never get a second chance. She follows her own intuition and has bold ambitions, but jealousy and a need for control can surface when things don't go her way.
Moon in Aquarius
Degree: 8°
Maggie Gyllenhaal approaches emotions with detachment and dislikes messy emotional displays. She’d rather channel her compassion toward big-picture humanitarian ideals than personal drama. Groups and social causes fire her up more than individual conflicts, and if she gets heated it’s usually over a principle, not a personal slight. Her own emotional needs can get neglected while she’s busy fighting for everyone else’s.
