Sun in Leo
Degree: 6°
A warm ray of sunshine at his best, Richard Burgi 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 When met with opposition, though, his pride can kick in and he may become stubborn or withdrawn, but he rarely holds grudges and bounces back to his playful self quickly.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 Aquarius
Degree: 6°
Richard Burgi 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.
