Sun in Cancer In The Theater
The sun is the astrological "planet" of the ego, the self/self-expression, attention, creativity, and presentation. Cancer is the sign of the crab representing protection, family, nurture, memories, and sentimentality. It is a cardinal sign (representing initiation), it is a water sign (reresenting emotional energy), and it is ruled by the moon (the "planet" of emotion, nurture, memory, and understanding). When the sun is in Cancer the ego is protective (maybe even defensive) and sensitive. These natives can be quite emotional and they are easily moved by things that are nostalgic in nature. Family plays a key role in their life.
As actors, they make excellent ones because they know how to project emotion into every character they get into. Creating tears for an emotional scene? Not a problem. The art of manipulation is not difficult for these natives. They come across as sincere because of their ability to make themselves look vulnerable. They may dislike the limelight mostly that comes with fame. After all, they are actually pretty shy by nature and would prefer to stay under the radar. Equally, they might feel downhearted should they struggle to reach the masses with their acting skills. They may be extremely good at remembering their lines or cue, especially if it touches them in some sentimental way. Their setback most certainly is their mood because their moods seem to hold them back from achieving or completing tasks from time to time, despite having the potential do so many things. Of course, how often the moods affect them depend on their moon sign and planetary aspects.
As directors, they are highly imaginative and creative. They don't see their team members as simply workers, but as a part of a big family. They create bonds with others which makes it easier for actors and actresses to feel connected under their direction. They might even decide to work with actual blood relatives on their projects. Of course, like all sun in Cancer natives, they can be a bit moody. They are very defensive of the movies they direct and may not take criticism so well. After all, they do everything with a more personal and heartfelt approach, including directing. They tend to be nostalgic, so they may often be inspired by older movies.
Note: Natives with the sun aspecting the moon might also relate to this description.
