Laith Ashley Is Leading With Biceps, Emotion, and Full Cancerian Power

Cancerian zodiac season coinciding with the official start of Summer feels so right! The season that brings the heat also giving us some of the hottest queer people just makes sense. Trans model, actor, activist, and "Lavender Haze" music video star Laith Ashley is no exception. "Nurturing and loyal," Yahoo!Life says of this hot starsign, "Cancers are protective of their loved ones. While reserved, they stand on a foundation of strength - and aren't afraid to act when they feel it's necessary." Ashley has proven these qualities true, always taking a stand in moments of injustice -and even taking the 'acting' literally with performances in interesting roles that make full use of how hot and talented he is.

@laith_ashley What's your star 🌟 sign? If people don't guess Cancer ♋️ for me on their first try, they usually guess Virgo ♍️.

The name 'Laith' translates from Arabic to mean 'lion.' It's given (by parents, or in this case by the model to himself) with the intention of raising a man who will be brave, strong, and lead others by standing up for what they believe in. Laith Ashley's life embodies this intention remarkably and harnesses all his Cancerian energy to make it all the more powerful. This is best conveyed in the countless times he has posted the most breathtaking thirst traps with captions reminding us not to dim our light, expressing his motivations to triumph over darkness and hate with quotes like: "Their cruelty will not win. Even if I fall, I will stand up stronger, again and again."

"Cancerians command your total loyalty and undivided attention, but they will return it in droves," says Cosmopolitan magazine, describing this starsign as the ultimate ride-or-die. Seeing Laith Ashley in this sexy sheer tank and cowboy fit on the red carpet, we can say this with absolute certainty: We would ride for, ride with, and go all-in on any other type of riding he was in the mood for if he looks anywhere near this good while doing it.

Cancerians work hard to be the best at what they do. They are passionate and driven to achieve their goals, understanding the impact that their success can have on their loved ones and their larger community. But it's not all work and no play for the zodiac sign symbolized by a crab: "You might think their work ethic makes Cancers constantly busy," says Yahoo!Life "- and while that's true, the crab always finds time for R&R, knowing that unless they care for themselves, they can't care for others." And nothing says 'rest and relaxation' like a shirtless afternoon in the sun where the only goal is to even out your tan lines and play with your puppy in the garden!

TODAY says of Cancerians that "you won't find a more devoted person. Cancers are known for being in tune with their often powerful emotions. This water sign is ruled by intuition and gut feelings, which often prove to be trusty compasses." When it comes to trusty compasses that can lead the way when you're in need, big biceps like Laith Ashley's will certainly do the trick! We love that each and every gym session that helped Ashley work through his emotions and move through difficult days brought him one step closer to this magnificent muscular body we have the privilege of seeing on our timelines.

"It is a gift to have so many emotions. To want to take action immediately. To feel it all instantly. The zodiac sign Cancer is a reminder to us all that emotions are important to protect and invest in," astrologer and author Alberto Toribio told TODAY. Even during what Laith Ashley describes as "a season of loss," he demonstrated the tremendous gift that only the strongest of our queer hotties are blessed with: the power of posting through it. In sharing emotional, vulnerable yet mysterious captions alongside photos of his abs that connect to those feelings, Ashley reminds us of the duality of life online, asking us to appreciate the good moments when we were sexy and shirtless.

But he doesn't even need to be shirtless to be sexy to us! We know that's a bold statement about someone who looks seriously hot without a shirt on, but as proof we invite you to consider the martial arts training Laith Ashley went through in preparation for his "Absolute Dominion" role. While his biceps are out, the shirt stays on in the video Ashley shared of these fight scenes -fight scenes which, it feels important to note, include close combat and Ashley's bare feet for free.

Talking about his uniquely sexy acting roles... We need a moment of silence for the time Laith Ashley played a dizzyingly hot, harness-wearing 'therapy stripper' in the comedy "My Divorce Party."

Co-Star Astrology includes "'Free hugs' booth operator," "That one influential elementary school teacher," and "Metaphorical heart surgeon" on their list of best career options for Cancerians. With a career that feels like it's just getting started and has already achieved groundbreaking milestones such as being the first out trans man to be featured in a Diesel campaign and the first openly trans member of the "RuPaul's Drag Race" Pit Crew, this trans icon, activist, and Taylor Swift music video-boy is kinda doing all that and more!

Addressing the crowd while wearing a 'Protect the Dolls' tee, Laith Ashley gave a powerful speech about the intersection of trans rights, immigrant rights, and universal freedom at the WorldPride International Rally and March on Washington for Freedom. There he goes again, using his visibility for good! We'll always love to see Ashley on our screens because he's such a dream to look at, but it's even more special that he's consistently using his handsomeness and magnetic energy to make meaningful change.

When Cosmopolitan told us that "Cancerians have an almost supernatural sense of intuition," the magazine delivered the news like a threat, explaining that "they know what you're thinking, and they know what you did." But this intuitiveness also means Cancerians can offer real comfort and genuine support when you need it most, because they see how you're really feeling. There's a strong possibility that Laith Ashley brought his adorable dogs in to work on this day because he knew that his coworkers really needed a cuddle!
