Famous Cancer Moons
The Moon in Cancer is the Moon at home: tender, protective and led by feeling. Famous Cancer Moons include Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Christian Dior, Liza Minnelli and Drew Barrymore.
The Moon sign is the private self: what you need to feel safe and how you react before you think. Cancer is the Moon's own sign, so here the Moon is at its strongest and most natural. It needs home, family and belonging, it remembers everything, and it looks after the people it loves.
Because the Moon moves into a new sign every two and a half days, a Moon sign can only be listed with confidence when the birth time is known. So this page shows only charts with a time on record, rated AA or A.

What Moon in Cancer means: the guide
What they share
Almost every one of them made their name by turning feeling into something other people could hold. Aretha Franklin's Cancer Moon is in her 8th house, and her voice carried the church she grew up in. Jimi Hendrix's is in his 7th house of partners, beside Jupiter. Christian Dior, who loved his mother's garden at the family home in Granville and named one line of his first collection Corolle, after the petals of a flower, has his Moon in Cancer in the 9th house. Liza Minnelli and Drew Barrymore, both born into famous acting families, have the Moon in Cancer joined by Saturn: a childhood in the public eye, and a long road to a home of their own.
