🌙 Zodiac

Vidkun Quisling’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.

🌙 Chinese Zodiac Signs

They’re perfectionists who enjoy finer things but are not perceived as snobs. They enjoy helping others and are good companions until someone close crosses them, then look out! They’re intelligent, always seeking more knowledge, and exclusive. Compatible with Rabbit or Goat.

Norwegian traitor Vidkun Quisling was born in 1887. An army officer, he served as military attaché in Petrograd from 1918-19 and in Helsinki from 1919-21, later assisting Fridtjof Nansen in relief work in Russia.

He was Norwegian minister of defense from 1931 to 1933. He then left the Agrarian party to found the fascist Nasjonal Samling [National Unity] party. In 1940 he secretly aided Germany in its invasion and conquest of Norway, and as a reward was installed by the Germans as head of the collaborationist Norwegian government.

Almost universally despised in Norway, and not particularly popular with his German masters, he nevertheless remained in power until May of 1945, when he was arrested after the Germans in Norway surrendered.

He was tried by the post-occupation Norwegian government for high treason, convicted, sentenced to death and executed by firing squad. From his last name has come the commonly accepted epithet for one who turns traitor and collaborates with the enemy: "quisling".
