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

Sun in Cancer
Degree: 17°
Neil Tennant 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 Scorpio
Degree: 13°
Neil Tennant tries to keep his emotions under wraps, but his intuition is razor-sharp — he sees right through people. He doesn’t scare easily and will pursue the truth even if it stings, though that bluntness can hurt others along the way. Once he truly trusts someone, his loyalty and protectiveness run incredibly deep, and betrayal is the one thing he won’t forgive.
