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

Sun in Gemini
Degree: 16°
Tom McCarthy's mind never stops. He's always analyzing, conversing, and soaking up new information. He can strike up a conversation with anyone and bring energy to any social setting, but sticking to one opinion or project doesn't come as naturally. When things get too serious or high-pressure, he may struggle to buckle down, but he'll always be the one to get the conversation going again.
Moon in Aquarius
Degree: 7°
Tom McCarthy 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.
