About Edmund Hillary

New Zealand mountaineer and explorer who, along with Tenzing Norgay, became the first confirmed climber to reach the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. He later led the first overland expedition to the South Pole since Scott. He devoted much of his later life to philanthropic work for the Sherpa people of Nepal.

Edmund Hillary the Cancer

Cancer feels first and explains later. A cardinal water sign ruled by the Moon, Cancer moves through the world by emotional read: sensing the temperature of a room, noticing who's gone quiet, registering what was meant rather than what was said. It's not fragility; it's high-resolution equipment.

Drawn from the birth date alone: without a birth time there is no Rising sign or houses, and a planet that changed sign that day shows both signs.
