The Real You

Your Gemini Sun

You're built to connect things. You gather ideas, people and information, and you come alive when you're learning or explaining. Your Sun sits in your 11th house, so it plays out among friends, in groups and in your hopes for the future.

Your Capricorn Moon

You handle feelings by containing them and getting on with it. You were probably the responsible one early, and asking for help doesn't come naturally. What you need most is respect, structure and a sense of making progress. Your Moon sits in your 6th house, so it plays out in your daily work, habits and how you look after yourself.

Your Leo Rising

People meet someone warm, confident and noticeable. You have presence, whether or not you feel confident inside. Your Rising sign is the front door of the chart, and its ruler, the Sun, sets the tone for everything behind it.

How they work together

Your Sun reaches for ideas, conversation and perspective. Your Moon needs tangible results and steadiness. A lot of your inner life is a negotiation between the two, and you feel most whole when both get a turn.

You were born close to a Full Moon. Relationships are your mirror: you see yourself most clearly through other people, and you often feel pulled between two sides of yourself.

What colours them

Saturn square your Sun adds seriousness, caution and staying power to your sense of self. At its most difficult this shows up as self-doubt, inhibition and a harsh inner critic. It is also where a lot of your motivation comes from.

Chiron square your Sun adds tenderness and an old sensitivity to your sense of self. At its most difficult this shows up as an old hurt getting pressed. It is also where a lot of your motivation comes from.

Mars trine your Moon adds heat, urgency and directness to your emotional needs. You get courage and energy here without having to work for it.
