Why the Signs of Gemini and Cancer Have So Much Power

I've noticed that a lot of people in power have the signs of Gemini and Cancer prominent in their charts. Take for example, Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Trump has Sun and Uranus in Gemini and Mercury, Venus, and Saturn in Cancer. Elon has Sun, Ascendant, and Mercury in Cancer and Venus in Gemini. USA has Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter in Cancer and Mars, Uranus, and Ascendant(original chart) in Gemini.

Are the planets in the birth chart the only reason such people exercise so much power, or is there something extra? I believe there is something else which enhances those Gemini and Cancer clusters. That something else is the stars.

If you take a look at the brightest stars in the heavens with magnitudes 1.6 or less(with three exceptions) you will find that most of them are clustered in the signs of Gemini and Cancer. Sirius in particular, the brightest star in the sky is especially significant. Did you know that the United States and Canada have birthdays with the Sun close to the degree of Sirius? Elon Musk's Mercury and Ascendant are almost exactly conjunct Sirius!

Below is a diagram of the tropical positions of 28 of the brightest stars for 2025. Polaris, Algol, and Alcyone are not the brightest but have been included because of their importance or popularity. The heaviest groupings are in Gemini-Cancer with six major stars each! Scorpio comes third with 5. This is strong evidence that the stars can enhance the power of the planets in certain signs.

Gemini is connected to communications and media and computers and intelligence which is so crucial nowadays with the Internet. Cancer is home and family and security and emotions and memory which is basic to our survival. These two signs rule primal conditions or requirements for any society to succeed. Of course, the other signs are important as well, but these two signs have the dominant emphasis in our current era.
