Biography

Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by Mexican nature and artifacts. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and dealt with themes of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. She was married to muralist Diego Rivera. Despite lifelong health problems following a bus accident in her youth, she became an icon of Mexican national identity and feminist art.

Sun in Cancer: what it says about Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo's Cancer Sun transforms personal pain into universal symbol. Cancer is ruled by the Moon — the planet of emotion, the body, and the private interior world made visible. Kahlo's self-portraits are Cancerian in their raw emotional honesty: she paints her broken body, her tears, her bleeding heart without metaphor or distance. Cancer governs the womb and fertility, and Kahlo's paintings are haunted by her inability to carry a child to term. The Cancerian need to create and nurture found outlet in art. Her work is domestic and intimate even when it's surreal — she painted her inner world as if it were her home.

✦ Astro Quote
The Signs of the Zodiack are seriously to be observed; for Aries is violent, Libra moderate, Cancer is sudden, Capricorn is slow, Taurus is heavy, Gemini is nimble, Leo is valient, Virgo is barbarous, Scorpio is false, Sagitary manly, Aquarius sober, Pisces cowardly. Of all the Signs in the Zodiack, Cancer is the most impetuous as to Commotions and shedding of Blood without mercy, for in that Sign Hercules and the two Dog-stars are located. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
