Combine the conscientious nature of a Virgo Sun with the protective instincts of a Cancer Moon and you get a Sun/Moon pairing that is deeply concerned about the well being of others, always willing to lend a helping hand and (quite possibly) one of the most altruistic of Sun/Moon pairings. Charles Ramsey, one of the neighbors who assisted Amanda Berry escape 10 years of captivity, is a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon. (Chart)

Ramsey, unfortunately, is not the only Virgo/Cancer to come across circumstances so horrific they shock the conscious. Muckraking author Upton Sinclair is a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon whose 1906 book The Jungle exposed the horrors of America’s meatpacking industry. (Chart)

The ethics of whether a movie should be made about the rescue are highly questionable but, given the nature of modern media, a treatment by Hollywood is probably inevitable. So who should portray Ramsey? Actors do best in roles that line up (or even match) their own Sun/Moon pairings so comedian Dave Chappelle, also a Virgo/Cancer, is probably the best choice. (Chart) It’s not too difficult to imagine Chapelle delivering the line, “I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms” with the same lucid frankness that Ramsey did.

Something to think about: Using its premier date as its date of birth, the CBS show Person of Interest is a Virgo Sun, Cancer Moon. (Chart) The show revolves around a software billionaire who uses access to a predictive supercomputer to intervene in horrific crimes. The computer, in effect, gives the billionaire and his former CIA operative colleague the capacity to miraculously be in just the right place at just the right time.*

Charles Ramsey is a dishwasher with a penchant for McDonalds, not a software billionaire or former CIA agent. But on May 6th his ability to be in just the right place at just the right time was more miraculously spot on than any supercomputer could ever be.
