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

Sun in Aquarius
Degree: 16°
Open-minded and fiercely original, Tom Brokaw comes to revelations others wouldn't dream of, and once he's landed on an idea, good luck changing his mind.

Tom Brokaw tends to lead with his head over his heart, which helps him make clear-eyed decisions but can leave him emotionally detached when others need empathy.
