Cancer is the mother of the zodiac and these 12 Cancer celebrities will make you feel right at home like any good mother would. As the first water sign of the zodiac, Cancers are often seen as big crybabies, but after reading this article you will see that there is an intense joy that permeates their sensitive souls. Let’s take a look at the 12 cancer celebrities you need to know about.
Cancer sunbathing
Princess Diana
Gone but never forgotten, Princess Diana left a legacy of kindness that still resonates today. Although her own life was full of sadness, she turned her pain into love, as only a Cancer can. One of her most famous acts of kindness came in 1987 when she visited patients in a hospital suffering from HIV and AIDS and shook hands with them without wearing gloves, an act that helped disprove the erroneous belief that the virus could be transmitted through touch .
Robin Williams
It should come as no surprise that the man who brought love, light, and laughter into every American home in the 1980s and 1990s was a Cancer Sun. Like Princess Di, Williams had his own demons, having struggled with addiction and depression from an early age. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, Williams dedicated his life to making others happy. But not all Cancer traits are as above.
Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen, one of the world’s most famous supermodels, is a Cancer through and through, not only because she is philanthropic and cares deeply about others and the planet, but also because she is a witch! Her husband Tom Brady has said as much, even saying that she sets up elaborate altars for his games, predicts certain events and often gives him little trinkets to take with him for good luck. Every Cancer has a little bit of witch in them!
Nelson Mandela
Cancer is the sign of the nurturer, one of the zodiac’s divine parents, and the Cancer sun Nelson Mandela is often touted as the father of South Africa. As an activist and social democrat, Mandela is a name synonymous with freedom because of his efforts in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s to end apartheid in South Africa. Although he was in prison when it was finally abolished, upon his release he became South Africa’s first president, graciously leading the nation to a better future.
Cancer mane
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift burst onto the scene in the early 2000s writing and performing country music and has always written and sung songs straight from her heart like a true Cancer Moon. Country musicians are expert storytellers, and while she doesn’t sing country anymore, Swift is as good as any when it comes to weaving an emotional story through music.
Keanu Reeves
Lev Grossman once called Keanu Reeves “Hollywood’s ultimate introvert” in an article for Time magazine. This speaks to the often shy archetype of Cancer, in reality Cancer is just extremely sensitive to energy and their environment, so they try to conserve it. I imagine that can be difficult in Hollywood, but Reeves has always been known to be more on the edge, protecting and honoring his Cancer moon.
Kris Jenner
It makes too much sense that Kris Jenner is a Cancer moon, after all, the term “momager” was coined for this famous mother. Cancer is known as the mother archetype and Kris Jenner is certainly Hollywood’s lost mother! With Cancer’s relationship to family and motherhood, it’s no surprise that she created a reality TV show that’s all about her family.
Mac Molenaar
It is not uncommon for Cancer moons to be drawn to music and poetry as this can be an excellent outlet for their emotions. This was also true for Mac Miller, he often said that if you wanted to know how he was doing, you just had to listen to his most recent music. Whether he was in love, struggling with addiction or loving life, music was always the medium in which he could express his tender Cancer moon soul.
Rebellions of cancer
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham is a perfect example of a Cancer rising because while she may have found fame in the musical group Spice Girls, she has remained famous for her role as wife to David Beckham and mother to their three boys (Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, remember). And as a Spice Girl, she always looked confident in a black dress, but honestly, she was a shy Cancer who stood up in person!
Jacket black
Quick question: do you know anyone who doesn’t like Jack Black? No, because he’s a universally sweet and wonderful person, so it’s no surprise that he also happens to be a Cancer rising. If you haven’t noticed yet, Cancers enjoys making people happy, and, from Black’s hilarious movies to his band Tenacious D, that’s exactly what he does with his life, and we thank him for it!
Michael Phelps
Something that is incredibly important to Cancer is water, whether it is the beach, a lake, a river, a bath or the swimming pool. Cancer’s love is nothing more than playing in the water; they are water signs after all. So the fact that the most decorated Olympian of all time, swimmer Michael Phelps, is a Cancer rising makes so much sense!
Salvador Dalí
Cancers tend to be drawn to art and for Cancer rising Salvador Dali it was painting. Dali is known for his technical skills in painting, but instead of using them for realism, he defined the genre of surrealist painting. Cancers are known to feel things deeply and this can distort their reality, so perhaps his shockingly bizarre paintings were a reflection of his own Cancerian worldview.
