Viola Desmond
Bio
Viola Irene Desmond (July 6, 1914 – February 7, 1965) was a Canadian civil and women’s rights activist and businesswoman of Black Nova Scotian descent. In 1946, she challenged racial segregation at a cinema in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, by refusing to leave a whites-only area of the Roseland Theatre. For this, she was convicted of a minor tax violation for the one-cent tax difference between the seat that she had paid for and the seat that she used, which was more expensive. Desmond’s case is one of the most publicized incidents of racial discrimination in Canadian history and helped start the modern civil rights movement in Canada.

Sun Sign
Sun in Cancer
People with the Sun in Cancer have a very deep emotional core and strong intuition. You are quite sensitive to your surroundings and other people's feelings, and you often take on the role of the shield and protector. You are emotionally boosted by family and home life, and you thrive when you find yourself emotionally secure.
In your career, you may find yourself drawn towards the fields of care-giving, counselling, real estate, history, and tradition. Your intuition is stronger than your reasoning when it comes to making decisions.
In relationships, you are passionate and loyal, wanting security in love and a strong bond with partner. But, your sensitive nature can sometimes cause mood swings or withdrawal when you get hurt.
Your main strengths are empathy, intuition and emotional depth. But, if you learn to balance your emotions with logic and strengthen your resilience, you would do well.
Moon Sign
Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, you are more reserved and practical when expressing emotions. You may tend to keep your feelings in check rather than express it outwardly. When you have stability, structure, and a sense of purpose in your life, you feel emotionally secure.
You might have learnt that working hard and being independent is essential for survival early on itself, making you more emotionally mature than your age. Even though you are very loyal and reliable, you have difficulty getting emotionally close to others as you fear vulnerability will bring weakness.
You find security in accomplishment and long-term planning, and feel the safest when your future is well-structured. As you grow, it is helpful to start to let your guard down more and trust others.
The moon in Capricorn represents emotional resilience, responsibility, and building security through long-lasting effort.
Rising Sign
ARIES Rising
If you have an Aries rising sign, you are confident, assertive, and full of energy. Bold, straightforward, and occasionally rather aggressive are some words to describe you. People see you as ambitious and naturally commanding. You are willing to fight for what you want.
Being ruled by Mars makes you fiery and passionate and always up for a challenge. You are very independent and prefer to lead than to follow. You are likely to excel in careers requiring guts and determination, such as sports, entrepreneurship, or leadership due to your competitiveness.
Sometimes, your impulsive behavior can mess things up by acting before thinking things through. You may not have the patience and may start getting frustrated when things do not move fast enough.
In relationships, you are passionate and intense. You chase after love, expecting the same enthusiasm from your partner. But, you need independence so commitment may be tough unless you find such a person who gives you personal space.
People with Aries rising signs usually have strong, athletic builds, and powerful, piercing gaze. You might have a natural tendency to be active and push your body to the limit.
