Mysterious and intensely driven, Sam Shepard doesn't shy away from going after what he wants. Win his trust and he's one of the most loyal friends around — break it and you may never get a second chance.

Moon in Aquarius
Degree: 19°
Sam Shepard 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.
