by user Manny Stiles
I'm going to take you on a tour and see which athletes under which astrological signs stand out as the best...
Since I came up with this idea today, we start at Cancer.
Cancer: "The fourth sign of the zodiac, Cancer is the astrological sign for people born between June 22 and July 22. The crab symbolizes Cancer, the first water sign of the zodiac. According to astrologers, Cancerians are strongly protective of those they love, and also exhibit highly developed imagination, discipline, and intuition. Cancerians typically have a moody demeanor that correlates with the different stages of their ruling celestial body, the moon."
