Joss Whedon
Born June 23, 1964. The director of the Avengers and cult geek messiah, Joss represents the imagination and intuition that comes from this star sign. Like many past writers born to this sign, he specializes in making characters sympathetic - and damn funny at the the same time.

Princess Di
Born July 1, 1961. Diana shows the surface features - a soft face and watery eyes - of this sign. While no one can know what really went on in her family life, her maternal compassion for the world's poor was obvious. Perhaps she needed a stronger shell to protect herself from the world.

Courtney Love
Born July 9, 1964. Love may not seem like a good fit for the maternal moon sign, but she certainly displays some of the imagination and protective qualities Cancer is known for. She certainly has been known for having difficulty letting go of the past.

John Cusack
Born June 28, 1966. His success as an actor reflects some emotional depth and chivalry, but his real Cancerian qualities are in his unabashed devotion to his favorite Chicago sport teams, including both the White Sox and the Cubs.

Lindsay Lohan
Born July 2, 1986. Lohan serves as an example of the dangerous negative influence the moon can have on those born under this star sign. Her emotional problems were not that unusual for a former child star, and being charged with shoplifting is the Cancer trait of not letting go pushed to the extreme.

Selena Gomez
Born July 22, 1992. Born on the cusp of the Leo and Cancer signs, Selena has some of the best qualities of both signs. She has used her fame as a child star to help other children in need, becoming the youngest UNICEF ambassador at the age of 17 as well as supporting many other causes.

Will Ferrell
Born July 16, 1967. His comedy may seem natural and effortless, but Farrell had to work hard developing his improvisation and impersonation skills before his talent was displayed on Saturday Night Live. His behind the scenes work creating and producing internet and TV comedy is a very paternal Cancer trait.

Forrest Whitaker
Born July 15, 1961. Describing those under the Cancer sign as moody is an understatement, and Whitaker's performances have shown deep tides of emotion. He may look harsh on the outside, but he also displays compassion and sympathy the sign is known for.

Meryl Streep
Born June 22, 1949. Acting may be an unusual career for this nurturing star sign, but as one of the most acclaimed actors of all time, Streep shows how emotional depth makes for great performance. Her first two academy awards were both for roles as mothers who had trouble letting go of their children.
5:
Tom Cruise
Born July 3, 1962. Cancer men can be full of contradictions, being melancholy one minute and exuberant the next. Tom cruise has typical Cancerian sophistication, but may best represent one of the negative qualities of the sign - an unwillingness to let go of things caught in his claws.

Patrick Stewert
Born July 13, 1940. Sir Patrick Stewart's Shakespearean roots helped him reach fame in TV and Film. In many of the roles he plays he exudes confidence, compassion, and emotional protectiveness for those around him. His shaved head is symbolically moon like.
3:
Harrison Ford
Born July 13, 1942. One of Hollywood's most private stars, he has guarded his home life and families from invasion by the press and public. Before landing his star roles ford worked as a carpenter to provide for his family - which is how he met George Lucas.
2:
Kristen Bell
Born July 18, 1980. TV's Veronica Mars, Kristen has shown herself capable of putting up a tough shell to protect her emotional heart. Her broad smile and blue grey eyes are symbolic of this water sign ruled by the moon.
1:
Bill Cosby
Born July 12, 1937. The Cosby Show's Cliff Huxtable, based off of the humor of the real life Cosby, shows the nurturing and emotional traits of this star sign. He is romantic and practical about money, and patient with his children.
