What was Princess Diana’s star sign?
Princess Diana was born under the sign of Cancer. As one of the water signs in the zodiac, feelings tend to be a major driving factor in people with this sign in their birth chart.
She became known as “the People’s Princess” and this was probably due to her huge capacity for empathy – another common characteristic of Cancerians.
Cancer is a star sign that is ruled by the moon, and so intuition and creativity also strongly feature.
However, Cancers are known for their sensitive nature and their need for connection with others. They’re not the sort who can just toughen up and take it.
How did Princess Diana’s star sign influence her life?
Rather than outwardly seek help and support, Cancerians will tend to retreat into their shell when feeling overwhelmed.
You may never know their true feelings until it’s finally too much.
We all know the tragic end to Princess Diana’s story, but her sign also had an enormously positive influence in her life.
Having the strong maternal instincts of a Cancer meant that a lot of energy was channelled into making sure her sons felt loved and supported.
Her nurturing energy was also heavily directed toward the country as a whole, meaning that she is largely beloved by the people to this day.
How did Princess Diana’s star sign affect her relationships?
Her husband Prince Charles is a Scorpio, another water sign that is known for being emotionally intense.
Both Cancers and Scorpios long for true romance, and only relationships built on love will work for these deep-feeling signs.
We know now that Charles was under pressure to tie the knot with Diana, and this Scorpio was never going to be satisfied with a marriage just for show.
