Cancer season is officially upon us, and if that scares you, never fear, astrologists predict we might just be entering the happiest month of 2022. (And I think we all can agree that’s welcome news.)

June 21-July 22 is the official celebratory timeframe for those born under the Zodiac of Cancer. Cancer is a cardinal water sign and individuals who fall within it are known for being highly sensitive and comfort-seeking. If that sounds like you, you just might share a birthday with one of the celebrity cancers we have on this list.

From athletes to entertainers, past and present, check out the famous men and women who will surely be turning up on your timeline over the next 30 days.
