Sun in Scorpio
Degree: 25°
Mysterious and intensely driven, Margaret Atwood 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: 22°
Margaret Atwood 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.
