Rufus Wainwright’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Rufus Wainwright was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.

His interest in opera developed shortly before he reached his teens. He was sexually assaulted when he was 14 and struggled for many years to come to terms with the incident.
His debut album, Rufus Wainwright, was an instant hit with Rolling Stone naming him Best New Artist of 1998.
He is the son of singer and actor Loudon Wainwright III and folk singer Kate McGarrigle. His sister was Martha Wainwright. He is openly gay. In 2012 he married Jörn Weisbrodt. The two of them, along with their friend Lorca Cohen, have a daughter named Viva.
