Ronald Reagan & Nancy Reagan: An Aquarius and a Cancer Who Were Everything to Each Other
Ronald Reagan (Aquarius, February 6, 1911) and Nancy Davis Reagan (Cancer, July 6, 1921) married on March 4, 1952. They had two children together — Patti and Ron — and remained together until Ronald's death in June 2004. Nancy Reagan died in March 2016. Their love was described by those who knew them as consuming and total. Ronald's letters to Nancy are among the most romantic in the correspondence of any American president.
Aquarius and Cancer: The Visionary and the Home
Aquarius and Cancer are very different signs — Aquarius oriented toward the collective and the ideal; Cancer oriented toward the personal and the home. Ronald's Aquarius is in the political vision that shaped modern conservatism, the particular ability to communicate ideas to large audiences, and the warmth he extended to everyone he met. Nancy's Cancer is in the fierce protectiveness — she was reportedly involved in every major scheduling decision, relied on astrology for timing, and placed Ronald's wellbeing above every other consideration.
"There is no Nancy without Ronnie, and no Ronnie without Nancy." That's not Aquarius + Cancer on paper. That's what happens when those two orientations find each other and commit completely.
After
Ronald was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994 and died in 2004. Nancy cared for him personally through the decade of his illness. After his death, she continued his legacy through the Reagan Foundation, opposed stem cell research restrictions (in contrast to his conservative base) because of its potential for Alzheimer's treatment, and died 12 years later. She said publicly that the last twelve years were the loneliest of her life. That's Cancer: the home was a person, and without the person, the home was only a structure.
