Spotting a Cancer Rising

With the death, resurrection, and ultimate bastardized zombification (I coined a word there, methinks) of TikTok, I will be making long-form versions of those videos on “the YouTube”, as my high school history teacher would say.

With the first video out, I have decided to both look and not look at my analytics; it’s going well. With (checks notes) 5 subscribers, to date, I can’t wait to see what weekly video uploads will do for that number.

This is one of the many ways I will use pop culture to help teach you guys about astrology. The faces, bodies, and lives of celebrities can give us good clues about their rising sign.

Thus, when people we know share those attributes and circumstances, we may be able to rectify someones entire chart. All of this done just by observing similarities and coincidences.

Celebrities (from L-R):

  • Adele: Taurus Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Pisces* Midheaven

  • Pedro Pascal: Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon, and Aries Midheaven

  • Keke Palmer: Virgo Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Aries Midheaven

  • Markilplier: Cancer Sun, Taurus Moon, Pisces Midheaven

  • Rami Malek: Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon, Pisces Midheaven

  • Meghan, Duchess of Sussex: Leo Sun, Libra Moon, Aries Midheaven

  • Lil Nas X: Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon, Aries Midheaven

  • Margot Robbie: Cancer Sun, Scorpio Moon, Taurus** Midheaven

    *A whole sign chart for a Cancer rising would have their Midheaven in Aries, like half of these folks do, but I read charts using the Placidus system. This means that all of the Angles (Ascendant/Rising, Imum Coeli (IC)/4th House Cusp, Descendant/7th House Cusp, and Midheaven/Medium Coeli (MC)) aren’t always 90º apart, like Cancer and Aries are.

    That said, having your Ascendant and MC in the same element (in this case, Water) seems to enhance their tendency to avoid a lot of external interaction, granted by their Cancer Ascendant. The Pisces MC people tend to take more breaks in their work.

    ** Then there’s Margot with her Taurus MC, which seems to enhance her ability to work less (again, a Cancer Ascendant thing) by adding a financial boost to the few jobs she does take. Her first big break was The Wolf of Wall Street, a movie centered around money; she produced and starred in Barbie and made a ton of money from it; and her role as Harley Quinn is essentially always renewable (as long as she cares, and is able to do it) and I’m sure that DC check isn’t anything to sneeze at.
