Lagna in Cancer 0°19'05"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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.

Venus in Aquarius 19°52'20"
Venus has much to do with our sense of beauty and pleasures and Aquarius is a sign ruled by the 'low class' yet 'truly philosophical' Saturn. The combination of these two in your chart means that your sense of beauty will not be the 'norm' but rather, shaped by an appreciation for the earthy, the basic, the third world, the deep, the working class. For example, in America, although Mexico is considered a much 'poorer' country, still, some Americans find it in Vogue to dress in colorful and festive Mexican clothing, and they like the connection between 'the real people' of the poor countries and themselves, feeling that it brings them closer to 'real beauty'. They prefer to dress like the peasants of the third world, as opposed to wearing the stream lined fashions of their own society. This kind of connection is indicated by this combination. It further indicates that you can be very thoughtful about romance and love, philosophizing on these matters at length. Aquarius is a very philosophical and high-minded sign, indicating the descent of divine truth on one and all. Venus rules over romance and love in general. So, this combination is a natural one found amongst those who think much about the truth regarding love and pleasure.

However, your spouse is not supportive or may look down on you and cause some kind of worry.

Death is generally at a noble place. You may be a shepherd; your language is that of rustics. This Venus denotes happiness, ailments, longevity, discontentment, and trouble for mother in the 4th year. Your partner is your well-wisher.

You are generally large-hearted, quiet, sober, lofty, patient, not avaricious, just, virtuous, hospitable, and generous which might lead to poverty in old age, but does not turn you away from benevolence.
