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

Sun in Taurus
Degree: 21°
Loyal, patient, and grounded, Michael Ignatieff has a calming presence that puts everyone at ease. He's naturally resourceful and knows how to manage what he has, but he's also deeply tied to his comforts and possessions — mess with either and the bull comes out. Once he sets his mind on something, he'll see it through to the end.
Moon in Aquarius
Degree: 13°
Michael Ignatieff approaches emotions with detachment and dislikes messy emotional displays. He’d rather channel his compassion toward big-picture humanitarian ideals than personal drama. Groups and social causes fire him up more than individual conflicts, and if he gets heated it’s usually over a principle, not a personal slight. His own emotional needs can get neglected while he’s busy fighting for everyone else’s.
