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

Sun in Gemini
Degree: 2°
Martin Parr's mind never stops. He's always analyzing, conversing, and soaking up new information. He can strike up a conversation with anyone and bring energy to any social setting, but sticking to one opinion or project doesn't come as naturally. When things get too serious or high-pressure, he may struggle to buckle down, but he'll always be the one to get the conversation going again.

It takes a lot to rattle him, but when something that brought him stability falls apart, he feels it deeply and can become reclusive. He values trust above all else and is drawn to people and situations he can truly rely on.
