Cancers are creative individuals and a number of Cancer's born today have used their creativity in different ways.

Two of them had their sights set on the skies.  Inventor Ed Yost, born in 1919 was an American scientist who invented the modern hot air balloon, while engineer Ludwig Bölkow, born in 1912 was the lead engineer at Messerchmitt whilst they were building the first famous jet plane, the ME 262.

Focusing his Cancer creativity more on flights of fancy, winner of a Nobel Prize in Literature, Czeslaw Milosz, born today in 1911, become widely considered as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century.

 

We have already seen plenty of creative Cancers who have used their skill within the entertainment industry.  One such Cancer star born who celebrates her birthday today is Supremes singer Florence Ballard, who drew resentful of the record company's insistence of solely using Diana Ross as the groups lead singer. She was dismissed from the group in 1967.

 

Cancer men aren't normally aggressive, but they can certainly battle out a competition if they become determined to win.  No surprise then that sportsmen Mike Tyson and Ralf Schumacher are also celebrating Cancer birthdays today.
