Janis Joplin – Capricorn Sun Cancer Moon
Like many “Full Moon” natives, Janis is seen as a contradiction of personality in many ways.. Her Capricorn Sun brings to her a certain soberness and detachment with a yearning for status. Her Cancer Moon brings a deep emotional sensitivity and moodiness that was the source of her deep ‘blues’ sound.
