Lagna in Cancer 23°50'26"
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are bestowed on you, you will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that situation of warmth and recognition is withdrawn, you become most miserable, just as if the life force had been drained from you.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 '9 Ashlesha-3'
The Star ruling your Ascendant or Moon is Ashlesha.
Character and general events: you will have difficulty showing gratitude. You may be of a duplicitous nature. You will possess the gift of intriguing speech. You have the qualifications of a leader, possibly as a politician. You will be very intelligent. There is also an indication of being soft spoken and meek. But your external shyness may be misunderstood by others as arrogance. You are not easily swayed by others. Be cautious of this trait when dealing with those of questionable character. You do not keep any distinction between rich or poor, good or bad.
You work well independently and would be suited towards managerial positions. You are not of a cheating nature, but are often mistaken by others. You have difficulty distinguishing between those who are truly in need and those who are not. You enjoy being recognized for your good deeds. You will be lucky and popular, but have difficulty controlling your temper. You may lose it at inappropriate times and remain silent when it may be necessary. You will have difficulty enjoying your fortune, mainly due to poor association. You will be the recipient of anonymous donations.
Education, sources of income/profession: you may have your education in arts or commerce. In the professional field, you will get speedy promotions and sudden reversals. A heavy loss of money at the age of 35 or36 is indicated and unexpected and unearned income when you are 40 years old.
Family life: you will have to shoulder much of the family responsibilities, due mainly to your being the eldest. You may experience some miscommunication with your spouse in the realm of finances.

Since you have a completely independent life, you are easily hurt when resistance arises. You cannot keep anything secret for long. You will not blindly believe even your loved ones. But once you take somebody into confidence, it is not easy for you to keep away from them out of attachment. You are very hot-tempered.

Jupiter in 8th House
Jupiter in this position operates like a filter which permits past religious impulses to manifest only in terms of traditional belief systems. Consequently you become learned, industrious, and interested in the scriptural knowledge of your tradition and the higher values of life; you practice severe penance as well as arduous rituals.

Saturn in 6th House
Saturn in the sixth house produces sexual problems. Sex will be a very unorthodox kind of experience for you, but out of it there may arise a realization of your spiritual nature. Deprivation of a normal sex life and a tendency towards bizarre or unusual relationships enable you to secure special gifts from unexpected and unknown quarters which remove many personal difficulties. You may not always succeed in relating these two events, but both are impelled by Saturn. You are not necessarily attracted towards an unusual expression of sexuality, but the problem of sex affects your mental body vitally, and in some peculiar manner reveals the mysterious aspects of human motivation. For better or worse, your personal life is vitally affected by these experiences. You may suffer from some physical ailment without expressing your pain to others and doctors may not succeed in treating you easily. In spite of such personal anguish and sorrow, you enjoy great renown and social esteem. You may have trouble and hindrances in early life. There will be no help or support from any quarter and much criticism and little gain after much labor and effort are indicated, as well as trouble for maternal uncles and aunts.

Loss or trouble through attendants, menials and animals, accidents and operations, indigestion, circulatory problems, debility, diabetes or venereal diseases are some of the possible hardships. You are brave and intelligent, powerful, fortunate, with plenty of pleasures, jewelry and conveyances, learned, rich and happy, free from enemies, a favorite of the government, loving to your spouse and have lucky sons. You have few relatives and brethren and annihilate your enemies. Growing wealth is indicated. You are blessed with some income or employment, and might get some trouble through maternal uncles.

Rahu in Scorpio 2°45'45"
Rahu in Scorpio with Cancer ascendent
You may indulge in secret activities. Theft, smuggling, financial and economic corruption, selling secrets, or sexual profligacy may spoil your life.
Rahu in 5th House
Your creativity has a strange or foreign aura; not bad, but deep and unusual. Your writing for example, is so deep that others get somewhat absorbed in it. You have a very easy time understanding the lower levels of society, the seedy, the underworld, the poor, the distressed - this is an area where you move easily. You are deeply interested in liberation from material entanglement and expert in understanding the inner meaning of things, in other words, you have insight.
During the periods ruled by Rahu, you will experience gains and success. Your spouse will sometimes exhibit a short temper and have stomach problems. Watch out for your own difficulties with the heart and lungs. You will probably have at least one son. You worry much, and have few friends. Your first child may pose some difficulty.
During Rahu ruled periods, watch for indigestion and excess bile. Also, this Rahu brings you into association with the downtrodden of society and it makes you mentally sharp. Your son(s), if any, should watch out for snakes and danger while in the country.
Rahu in Lunar Mansion '16 Vishakha-4'
You may suffer from a disease that affects your appetite.
Ketu in Taurus 2°45'45"
Ketu in Taurus with Cancer ascendent
Ketu in this position, though it makes you well-provided for, is liable to accentuate your lascivious tendencies. You will have mysterious sources of income and will enjoy intellectual gains.
Ketu in 11th House
Ketu gives you the strengths of being learned, well dressed, and attractive. However, you have something in your nature that is not straight, perhaps some unbecoming private attachment that you have yet to overcome. You are considered powerful in society, but you have an unknown fear nagging at your mind. Success and gain come from all sources.
You are very fortunate, learned, handsome, strongly built, well-dressed and very glorious. Your off-spring is unfortunate and suffers from fear and danger. You are reputed, charming, of a happy-go-lucky nature, own house and property, are affluent, generous, and skilled in aesthetics and archery. You are sweet, pleasant, humorous, learned, prosperous, imposing, and fortunate with jewelry, dress and ornaments. Ailments of rectum, and tension are indicated.
You are generous, kind, popular, fond of literature, contended, and respected by leader types. At times you will have undesirable associates, miss good opportunities, suffer unfulfilled hopes, and bad friends giving bad advice. Look to Ketu ruled periods for some of these negative effects.
Ketu in Lunar Mansion '3 Krittika-2'
You have to lead a life away from your near and dear ones. Bodily pain and devoid of wealth. Too much attachment to the opposite sex and wine.
