He thrives in social settings and genuinely cares about people, but he can lean toward people-pleasing over standing firm in his own convictions.

Moon in Leo
Degree: 19°
Passionate and intense, Robert Gates 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.
