Cancer Meryl Streep is the most nominated actor in history for both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe. She holds a M.F.A. from the Yale School of Drama and an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Princeton University. She She is a true chameleon and has been described as “obsessive,” regarding roles she plays.

Meryl has Sun, Uranus and Venus in her 12th house, giving her amazing ability in the arts and in putting herself into others shoes and in taking on the character she has decided to sink herself into. She has Mars and Mercury in Gemini adding even more ability for her to get into character and to enjoy it. Her Mars and Mercury in aspect to her Jupiter right on the DC in Aquarius would lead her to research her characters and apply her intellect in that research knowing it will produce an even more believable depiction of whatever role she has taken. She is known for her research into roles and even has a say from time to time in how her character is written and what dialogue is there in the script. She is born for the stage with her Leo rising and this rising gives her the drama needed for the amazing work she does. Meryl’s Moon is in steady working Taurus which gives us the steady working Meryl who has produced consistent and entertaining characters throughout her career.

Being a Cancer with Uranus and Venus in Cancer as well makes family very important to Meryl. Her first important relationship was with a man who was diagnosed with cancer and Meryl stood by this man and nurse him through the illness until his death. She later married a sculptor and has been, throughout her career, dedicated to her marriage and to her family. However, with Cancer in her 12, she would consider each character a part of her and her “family,” and would personalize her portrayal of each with great care. With her Gemini and Aquarian love of education and interest in many different people and her Leo moon adding drama while Cancer is in her 12th, we see the great, intelligent actor she is on screen, in the theatre and even on television. Meryl’s chart is written for a great artist and she is considered to be one of the greatest actors of our time.

Meryl’s Cancer stellium is very obvious in her choice of clothing. A Cancer is a “dress girl,” and not one that is into baring all most of the time. Meryl is somewhat careful in her clothing choices and on the red carpet is always in a trusted designer’s work but with some Leo sparkle in her dress and on her face in the way of make up. Her face seems to shine and like all Leo influenced women, Meryl’s hair is always a halo seeming to add to her shimmer and sparkle when she is appearing at an events. She is a fan of the “up-do,” when dressed to the nines and sometimes when she is casually dressed. Meryl’s hair is usually a very dramatic red or a very light blonde to add to her “halo effect,” when she is dressed for the photogs. Often seen in drop earrings, this is a Leo trait as the drop earring not only sets off the face and hair, it also brings added drama to any outfit. She favors jewels in her jewelry instead of earthy pieces. She seems to create a vision which would fall in line with all those planets in the house of Neptune. It takes great personal confidence to appear in some of the roles she has done with regard to losing oneself in the character and Meryl does well in any costume in any period that she is acting in. This is also a trait of the 12th house and of Leo rising. She has a genuine interest in whomever she is playing with Jupiter in Aquarius which always brings an interest in other people’s lives and lifestyles.

Yes, Meryl is a chameleon and is very happy, when we look at her chart, with what she does.

A Cancer does well with “homey,” things and when Meryl plays a role that requires her to look like “any woman,” she excels and this is because the Cancer understands women and is comfortable around all things “homey,” and even ‘down home,” She has a great affinity for playing real people whom she researches well and applies her many talents to re-create on screen. She has played real women in “Julia and Julia,” “Silkwood,” and “A Cry in the Dark,” among others. She creates the “housewife,” (Cancer,) as well as the glamorous, “The Devil Wears Prada,” (Leo rising,) with great believability.

A woman to be very much admired, I am one who can’t wait to see what Meryl will take on next and have never been disappointed in anything she has chosen to do. With her stellium in Gemini in the 11th and Aquarius Jupiter, we can assume she can read scripts with great skill and choose roles that will both enlighten and entertain us. She is a “sure bet,” in the world of acting.
