Lagna in Cancer 4°43'29"
Cancer in the Ascendant gives a pleasing appearance of medium height, a round face, a thick neck and plump buttocks. Amiable in disposition, soft in speech, a connoisseur of good food and fond of luxurious living. You have the admirable quality of feeling at home in almost every situation.
You are a bundle of contradictions, greatly influenced by your planetary configurations. You are gentle, feminine in attribute, watery and have strength during the night and when 'resting near a lake, pond, or sand bank.' Materialistic in your approach to life, you are nevertheless capable of attaining great heights in spiritual practices. You may withdraw from the mainstream of life, actively pursuing your ethereal interests in seclusion, though outwardly you seem to be deeply engrossed in your earthly profession.
You can rise to sublime heights or sink into gross materialism. However, you do not really enjoy any situation. You may easily capture the object of your desire, but sex alone will not satisfy you. You may possess material riches and luxuries, but pine for something else. Even spiritual attainments and realizations seem of no consequence. Either you long for the past, or for that which is not yet in your possession.
Your attitude toward life and the parameters of your emotions and thoughts are always changing-nothing can hold your attention for long. You always shine in reflected glory. You must hold onto someone higher, mightier, wealthier, more respected, through whose support and patronage you can express your own qualities. In the absence of such an influence you seem forlorn, made of straw.
Given the opportunity to explain abstruse philosophical thoughts, you can reel out poetry to express them beautifully. But if required to articulate your own independent ideas on any subject, you might fail miserably. As long as love and affection are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you. It has been observed, that emotional excitement, aggressive designs, and the pursuit of self-aggrandizement often lead a Cancer born individual to destruction.
Your greatest trouble comes from Saturn, the planet of restriction: whenever any situation arises which impedes your natural growth, you get enmeshed in an inextricable tangle. Your marriage is seldom happy; you often surrender yourself to your partner, either in emotional excitation or through some kind of infatuation, only to discover that your understanding of the situation was not realistic.
Something done in a hurry, prohibited by society and performed to derive some mean favor, often becomes a stumbling block, causing life long sorrow. Whatever happens in life, you are basically shy, unable to express your innermost feelings and thoughts or live a completely natural life.
If you examine carefully several horoscopes of persons born in Cancer Ascendant, you will invariably find that Jupiter in his Dasha has given rise to both good and bad results - bad in respect of debts, diseases and enemies. Though Jupiter may not cause Raja Yoga in the strict sense, as he promotes business and professional prospects involving you at the same time in misunderstandings, troubles, annoyances and ill-health.
Lagna in Lunar Mansion '8 Pushya-1'
Your Ascendant or Moonstar is called Pushya.
Physical features: there may be a distinguishing mark, scar or a black mole on the face. Character and general events: you may have an indecisive nature. You will act properly in most situations, but be cautious of acting selfishly. You may possess a naturally duplicitous nature. For some reason, due to past lives, or due to parental influence you may be very needy and desire more attention than you are able to distribute. You respond quickly to admiration and become quickly deflated by criticism, giving yourself to love and affection with sincerity and appreciation, yet you are ever mindful of slights and hesitate to form strong attachments. As already explained above, the inherent freedom available in all walks of life may lead you to bad company. You must be cautious of friends. You will be fond of good clothes.
Education, sources of earning/profession: you will jump upon any work without judging or thinking whether you are capable. Be cautious of this trait, it may have detrimental effects. You may not be a good anticipator, you are very good in certain work and sweet words are a natural expression for you. It would be better if you assessed your capacity and ability for the specific field where you can excel and then start doing the job. If that is done, nobody on earth can stop you in achieving the best result. One of the plus points for you is that you are not vulnerable to defeat and you push your way up through several obstacles. Even if you do not have any basic education, you will show extra-ordinary intelligence and knowledge on any matter of discussion. Another plus point for you is that you resist any idea or work which is not ethical. You may be of the opinion that all wrong doers must be punished. You will carry out any work entrusted to you with the utmost sincerity and certainty. Be cautious of an independent nature, which may effect the results of your work. Your abilities are many faceted but your success lies probable in the theater or arts or in commerce.

From the age of 33 years on, there will be remarkable all round improvements i.e. economically, socially and in health. You may leave your home in order earn a living. You will normally undertake work where maximum traveling is involved.
Family life: there may be some problems in the family circle and you may have to depend on others for even day-to-day requirements. Due to this dependency during childhood you may become quite independent when you grow up. Circumstances may also warrant that you will be separated from your spouse and children even though you are attached to them. You may expect your spouse to be thoroughly self sufficient, with creditable talents and to be correct and conservative in manner and dress. You will be attached to your parents.
Health: be cautious of health problems in childhood.

Rahu is powerful to provide material prosperity when it is in the 11th house. However, you may lack modesty. You can control your desires and activities when you want to. You are very wise, though you don't speak much, preferring definite results before spending speaking energy. Therefore, you are a master at strategy, where forethought and tongue-holding is required, and also a good commander, and possibly a writer. You live away from your birth land, and mix well with foreigners and drifters.
The way you earn money is hard to predict because you might be dealing in ways that others are not aware of, except those with whom you deal. If other favorable conditions are present, this is very good for becoming an eminent philosopher, expounding your thoughts effectively. Rahu in the 11th gives rise to Raja Yoga during Rahu's periods. Rahu in the 11th means gains through foreigners. Though you respect the really learned, you yourself are often found in a level of code or conduct just below the standard that you respect. Therefore, while you may associate with priests, you yourself may instead prefer to have intense business dealings, for example.
This Rahu is not good for gaining status, but does indicate success in various ways. Try to protect your hearing as it indicates trouble there. This Rahu protects against harm in general. Rahu in the 11th gives you faithful friends who are astrologers and the like. You can succeed in both business or service. The separation from an elder brother may become a burden. Marriage is indicated at age 27, life 'begins' at age 28, and there will be sudden gain of wealth at age 42.

Ketu in 5th House
Ketu in the 5th house makes you have such unusual urges that you become a very original but shocking thinker, which causes you trouble with others.
