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

Sun in Leo
Degree: 15°
A warm ray of sunshine at his best, The Edge 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 When met with opposition, though, his pride can kick in and he may become stubborn or withdrawn, but he rarely holds grudges and bounces back to his playful self quickly.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 Cancer
Degree: 13°
The Edge is deeply in touch with his emotions and feels strong nostalgia for people and places that made him feel safe. Most of his decisions are guided by intuition rather than logic, and that instinct is usually right. He feels things with almost psychic depth, both the highs and the lows, especially when triggered by family or romantic struggles.

Aspects describe the angles between planets in your chart, highlighting where there is harmony or tension in your life. The orb degree determines how strongly an aspect will affect you, with smaller orbs indicating a stronger influence.
