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

Sun in Leo
Degree: 12°
A warm ray of sunshine at his best, Reid Hoffman has a big personality and loves bringing people together. He's generous, straightforward, and naturally self-confident, which is why others often look to him to take the lead. When met with opposition, though, his pride can kick in and he may become stubborn or withdrawn, but he rarely holds grudges and bounces back to his playful self quickly.
Moon in Leo
Degree: 8°
Passionate and intense, Reid Hoffman wants his emotional life to feel like a movie. He loves recreational activities and uses them as an outlet for what he’s feeling, and he radiates a sense of nobleness toward those he cares about. If he senses someone doesn’t like him, though, it can get in his head, and the key is learning not to give his critics free rent up there.
